10 sats \ 2 replies \ @nout 13 Jun 2023 \ parent \ on: SN release: ~tech sub, markdown keyboard shortcuts, and random improvements meta
"less posts, more quality" sounds like a good rule to me :)
I thing having ~tech will open the floodgates, because there's way more articles written about tech than bitcoin.
I think you'll have to start thinking about doing "paid review queues" of some form - e.g. any higher trust stacker news user can work on the "recent" queue and triage the posts (e.g. at most X posts per day). If those posts then do well, the person doing the triage gets portion of sats.
This goes back to my definition of desirables vs undesirables:
- If the user action is desirable, the user should be rewarded sats.
- If the users gets value from the content, they should be nudged to voluntarily pay sats for it.
- If the action is undesirable it should cost sats.

This is already somewhat the case because users get rewarded for tipping good content early, no? The current system is just not transparent enough, I think. So something like your idea could help.

Yeah, currently it's opaque. It could be fun to have a place where you can go, do some work and get rewarded sats...
You could then use that for all sorts of tasks that may be needed on SN. Like triaging ads, deciding scam, etc.
Task queues could decentralize that.
We don't want a single person sitting in Keyan's corner office to decide what's good or what's bad for everyone.
Just brainstorming further - I would like to subscribe to someone I trust to do good work triaging and filtering my content - that would definitely be worth my sats.
