This is why it's important to be the change you want to see in the world: if you _like_ a thoughtful comment, zap it!  It matters a lot.

And also (I propose), zap meta-content that you want to see in the world: people being kind, thoughtful, debating in good faith, etc.  You're voting for a culture every time you do, SN makes that very tangible.

> But the two “hacks” that produced the most reward for me were: confirming people’s opinions on a subject or saying something inflammatory. When I posted more thoughtful and balanced opinions, they produced fewer sats.

That's a valid critique, although I have seen plenty of thoughtful content get loads of sats. Plus, you're going to experience that kind of confirmation bias leaning on any platform, so I'd say we handle it decently well here
