48 sats \ 5 replies \ @Coinsreporter 28 Mar \ on: Some thoughts on SN rewards meta
- IMHO, users like daily rewards more than the contest thing. I am personally averse to it and like the contest more.
Sometimes what users like, or think they like, is contrary to what it causes them to do. Will be interesting to see what's knowable based on March.

Something I only have a theory for and has a bunch of confounders is that the number of comments per post is at an all time high this month. I think without daily rewards to recoup costs, and post costs being relatively high, people are engaging more with others to recoup costs.

I keep almost talking about this -- not wrt March, but generally. I'm like, surely posts that generate lots of discussion are good posts, and people who help a lot of discussion occur are great users but then I'm like, this would be literally the easiest metric in the world to game without some extraordinarily sophisticated network analysis, or, if that's not true, I'm too stupid to solve it in a less sophisticated way.
So instead, I hold my tongue.

I totally agree with all of that. Hopefully, someone smarter than us figures it out.

Yes, that's what I also feel.
