There is definitely a contingent on SN who are complete cliches, and respond to everything the way you'd expect -- you could train GPT2 on a corpus of their writings and it would be indistinguishable. You can get good zap rewards by posting the accepted religious talking points. This kept me from participating on the site for a long time.

But there are also people who seem to appreciate talking about some of the more expansive things related to btc. This is super encouraging! I'm excited to see if it can grow into the premiere destination to talk about more diverse btc-adjacent topics, since there's nowhere really to talk about them right now. The thoughtful way they're building out incentives makes me think there's really a chance.

SN is a btc site, but the community paradigm they're messing with is potentially way bigger than just that.
