Stacker.News has quickly become my favorite web related activity/community. Prior to stacker.news, it was giving the CIA all my information on Twitter. One reason I like it here is that Twitter never has generated me cigarette money like Stacker has.
As a content creator, I would like to smoke more cigarettes to produce higher quality content. It's an endless cycle that ends with death by smoke inhalation but you and I have a long way to go before we get there.
Anyways, there aren't very many users on this site, which is incredibly unfortunate. The incentives on here are absolutely brilliant because you are incentivized to engage in order to earn. There are so many sats flowing on this platform, despite small user base.
I am incentivized to grow the platform as the world's second most important journalist in order to earn more cigarette money. The more people that come to this platform, the more individuals who will be introduced to the Bitcoin standard of journalism.
This media organization is going to be incredibly obnoxious with a ref code. It seems like the only logical path forward. We are strongly incentivized to invest in this platform.
JUST DO IT!

Okay sounds great

Maybe keep the website to give a public intro and redirect the users here if they want to read the full article. So you can still use the ghost newsletter functionality to drive traffic to your full articles. Just an idea
reply
Yeah I want to keep the website. I have some plans for it. Maybe it would be better tho to post the whole article here instead of a link to the website so people don't have to bounce back and forth?
reply
That's what I mean. You keep the website for branding and newsletter. Post the full article here, and create an except on bugle.news that redirect here. Then newsletter with maybe both links. Read intro on bugle.news or full article on SN. Don't take this as final solution, I think it's worth to try different options and keep innovating.
reply
I agree. Appreciate the input
reply
you welcome. Really like your stories. Looking forward to read more of them

We'll keep em coming as long as people choose to read them
Yes
The answer is yes, bugle.

I figured it was but I wanted cigarette money earned in the process of finding the answer

Yes definitely, never on Twitter. But would Ike to see more of your content.
reply
Bugle should have a dedicated section on SNL. Like presenting "breaking news" on TV. Will be really fun. Bugle is the news agency for SNL.

Let me know if you need anything from us to make this happen. I love it when people use the Bitcoin standard of news in their content.

This post feels like fake news. What kind of response did you expect?
Wait, I get it now: this is already a Stacker Only News Special, right? Almost got bugled again.

You can drop links to SN on nostr or twitter to grow the userbase 👀
reply
Yeah. That's what I was saying. Gotta be dangerous with a ref link. Would be cool to double the platform by the halving. I think it's possible
reply
I ⚡Zap for smokes!
reply
Appreciate it! I zap for the cowboy hat. Also I think it's important to zap to get people to like engaging with your posts

do it!
ps. SN gets 60,000+ unique visitors/month and growing, it can appear smaller because 90%+ are simply reading and lurking without contributing content of their own… yet.
reply
Where do you see those analytics. The ones I was looking at were at the bottom of the site that said about 400 daily users.
reply
10 sats \ 1 reply \ @kr 14 Mar
will be expanding the analytics data at some point, the 400 daily stackers refers to people who earned sats on the site.
roughly 10x more people visiting and lurking than earning right now.
reply
That makes sense. The lurkers are really missing out here.
reply
Abso-friggin-lutely !!!

Stick to stacker. Build it and the will come. This feels like the place.
reply
This is definitely a special community
reply
short version is no.
long version is, do first posts here then post elsewhere with the same content maybe a day after.
loyalty/exclusivity isn't rewarded in this space.
take what you can.

This cigarette (or beer in my case) philosophy should be the real objective of Bitcoin journalism. I love this idea. You are definitely doing a great job to effectively empower journalism with cigarettes. Let's get a mutual lighter mate and don't ever dare to share your cigarettes here on SN. 💕🍻😜Cheers
reply
Most journalists are posers and vape instead of smoke.

Wait. SN is way more active now than when I first got here, and there's a new wave of Bitcoiners coming this upcoming cycle. Which, relevant to your post, means there's all the more reason for you to dig in here and prepare. 🫡
reply
It's going to be a full time job farming cigarette money on here
reply
Fine, whatever.
But if you are the world's second most important journalist, who's first?
You could also be SN first instead of SN-only and auto-send your SN posts as tweets with a mention "content originally copied from Stacker News (link)". Otherwise someone else might make a bot of it which you couldn't prevent, since this is the free internet and a jungle of sort.
reply
Yeah that's a great point actually. I will definitely post first on SN vs Twitter. Honestly I'm becoming more tired of Twitter because it's all fake and gay. Too many bots being ran by intelligence agencies presenting a view of reality that isn't real.
Jullian Assange is #1 right now.
reply
I've been having a good laugh lately, so yes!
reply
Alright. I'm really looking forward to this. I think late night musings fits into this platform well.
reply
it was giving the CIA all my information on Twitter
Uhm aktually 🤓
The CIA, just like human beings, can access any publicly facing website like SN, its just less convenient.
reply
I don't think this site is yet controlled by the CIA like Twitter is. We've got a long way to go before that
reply
What's serially stopping you? You want cigars instead of cigarettes or your lungs have exhausted by the smoke inhaled? Do it, for the love of cigarettes.
reply
Do it for the cigarettes is my motto
reply
In case, you exhaust your lungs, you can always borrow mine. But just won't ever stop.
reply
I am a seasoned smoker. My lungs can handle anything
reply
What about cigarettes then? If you run out of supply, I will happily hand my packets to you. I am generous enough.
reply
Whatever pops your cork! I see the lack of numbers of users as the reason why stacker.news doesn't suck, in part.
reply
That's true. Smaller amounts of people is preferred over hoards of shitcoiners
