Thanks for the post. It's good to get a sense of the thought process "from the other side." That reminds me of something I haven't mentioned in all my complaining. Part of what I really enjoy here is the sense of guys like you, @k00b, @kr also posting and earning. Whether it was reality or not, it felt more like a community than a business. There didn't seem to be two sides, even if there was. Another thing that bugs me is that you guys won't be incentivized, at least in ways we can see, for great content. Everyone knows the 3 of you are great stackers, whether you're management or not. I'm glad I can zap your post, but who gets the sats? I liked when that answer was you.

I didn't realize there were two sides either until @ek shared this yesterday. I didn't even realize we had made a decision, or chose a side, as I had thought of it as investigating a guess.

i got this wrong in the Million Sat Madness v2 post, but the team will be competing alongside everyone else this month (like we did under the daily rewards system).
i remember the daily rewards were quite nice on my big posting and commenting days, but i found it hard to communicate to other stackers that it was possible to earn a significant number of sats for regular contributions.
i think shining a light on total rewards amounts for all to see is a net positive, though i know some will disagree here.

I'm glad to hear that. I get that the optics won't be great if k00b wins the grand prize, but you guys are some of the best contributors and I'd rather you be in the mix.

I see your point but I think our incentive to post on SN was never stacking sats via rewards anyway. We stack sats via SN in different ways, lol. I just didn't like that we were missing out on the MSM experience. Knowing how SN feels for the average stacker is more important than rewards.
I'm glad I can zap your post, but who gets the sats? I liked when that answer was you.
That's still the case. They are also immediately withdrawn to my node via autowithdrawals like a true freebie bot :)

I didn't mind they weren't included in the contest portion but I think if it changed their posting, commenting and zapping habits as to not have too much impact with their zapranks then it was a net negative for the overall quality on SN to not have them engaging as usual.

Apparently they are included from this month going forward.

Yes, I see KR on the list.

No @ek told me last week he thought it was weird we weren't getting rewards, so I added us back. I either miscommunicated it or @kr forgot we had talked about that when he made the announcement.

Yes, I mentioned it together with my "we're more corporate and detached from the community now" point.
update: We can keep it more challenging for us though (haven't checked the code yet). Even though I talk about "MSM is too competitive", I do like challenges haha

anon should be able to participate in the MSM contest 🤠 Any winnings from anon would go towards the next reward pool.

Let the conspiracy theories commence! What if he wins? Nobody gave something like that a second thought pre MSM.

He's the Klaus Schwab of SN.

I thought he was Klaus' brother Charles.

The (sort of) good brother?
