The reward system of Fountain is trailing off ergo a decline in usability. I believe if they can adopt @SN reward based formula they can push for some serious engagement on their platform. SN is already on a high with this formula. Fountain is a great project I believe can topple the likes of Spotify in podcasting.

I should start using fountain. Its just that I listen to pods offline so wouldn't be able to stream sats

You can just give one-time boosts to the creators then.

1815 sats \ 6 replies \ @ek 20 Nov 2023

i like combining the boost with a comment feature :)

reply

and someday that feature will replace super chats in a lightning alternative to YouTube

reply

It already works like that at zap.stream, no?

reply

You are correct, I think. However, we're a little ways off from that being a real YouTube alternative. I'd love to see it take off.

reply

You and me both.

It needs some UX touch ups, cause right now it feels like "we have YouTube at home"

And also, as everything in bitcoin space: needs more adoption, i.e. creators and users. I'm using it daily to stream some NoGood radio, so I'm doing my part πŸ˜…

Be the change

I'll try to work it into my internet routine.

Can you be more specific regarding the steps you would like to see fountain take?

Assmilking others,
Stolen sats are never earned..
They are the victim?

What you lack lately in quantity you make up for with quality.

I agree that the Stacker News rewards setup is much better than the slightly random rewards on Fountain - as I say in the above post as soon as Fountain 1.0 is ready we will look at the earning rewards again.

reply

keep up the good work,
love your app

reply

Man, is supposed to GIVE sats to podcasters, not to take from them. is V4V not assmilking...

reply

Exactly. Fountain rewards are really about seeding sats to users so they can give them to podcasters.

SN is similar. If you add value you get value back. Its not about milking value from the site.

reply

Beautiful explanation.
We need a meme with that.

reply

I'm not sure what you have in mind exactly, but I agree Fountain has a lot of room for improvement and could potentially develop really good engagement.

I'd love to see clips and comments become much bigger.

reply

Fountain 1.0 is almost ready and has a massive ux improvement with clips and comments - stay tuned!

reply

Can SN buy fountain???

Perhaps @MerryOscar might weigh in

I know Oscar was nice enough to provide feedback to many of us last week, but my app has been crashing for over a month. So basically about one day a week the app actually works. Hopefully it works again soon. I’ve basically given up at this point as the app won’t even let me submit a support ticket anymore.

reply

I had to give up on Fountain finally. Nothing to do with the rewards. If anything I was a net booster. But the bugs just got too much.

reply

You can't pay for premium with LN , that should change too.

reply

The difference is fountain is only a client for rss podcasting 2.0

Just like damus or primal for nostr.

Spotify is Twitter
