I think we are still very early and territories are a subtle knife in the side of reddit. Ultimately, why would anyone use Reddit? For karma? Why would you spend time on stock traded platforms that are selling your data to Google (Reddit ipo is days away) if you had an option of building the same communities powered by sats instead of karma points. Sure, it’s a long road and Reddit has a huge user activity base, but I’d move it all here if it were up to me.
I think as people realize that platforms are making huge amounts of money from their usage and time, they will seek honest communities built upon an honest ledger. Same goes for Steem/Hive. All of those communities would be better here.
Preach 👊. Value for value isn't something the masses yet understand... Magic internet points?? Karma?? Ha! Nah I would appreciate something more real, more tangible.

As I've said on sn before, V4V is a tough nut to crack for most forum goers. It's not for everyone, that's for sure.

Agree 0x it does take a huge leap from the "HODL" mantra preached everywhere else.
Here we encourage people to stack sats but also zap Sats to benefit the economy.
In other places it's just straight up HODL and never let go. That kind of conditioning takes some time to let go. No one wants to be the guy who bought 2 pizzas for what is now life changing money.

Another thing that confuses most people is having to pay to post. I've tried to bring friends here and the response is unanimous: 'You're crazy! Paying to post?'
