I think its a sleeper,

Stackers are financially incentivized to post good content.

It would be interesting to see how the freaks react to cowboy hat sat incentives.

SN would gain a more fervent cohort of hat seekers, I'm sure plebs wouldnt mind paying, especially if it increases their sat stream. Gamification of the cowboy hat experience with sat incentives and rewards met at thresholds will likely yield more revenue to the SN team, payout to legend stackers, and give the plate licking pleb hours of joy and laughter.
