what works on stacker news?

> But the two “hacks” that produced the most reward for me were; confirm people’s opinion on a subject or say something inflammatory. When I posted more thoughtful and balanced opinions, they produced less sats

That has not been my experience.  My largest sat generating posts were definitely on the more thoughtful, long-form content side of things.

Short comments either agreeing with people or saying something controversial might get me a couple hundred sats at most.

Generally, my observation is that the top rewarded posts are either:
1. instructional posts related to bitcoin, tech, or economics
2. posts that generate a lot of community discussion (not necessarily controversial)
3. reflective essays on random topics, but usually related bitcoin/technology/econ/history/culture
