Yeah. At this point it's clear that few people zap a lot. The way to actually scale SN is to get more people instead.
March 2022. Nice. Some people still zap alot.

What's march 2022?

That's when you joined.

The push to get people from 1 or 2 sats up to 10 or 20 was pretty successful. However, getting people to go much higher has been like tilting at a windmill.
The problem with scaling is that we haven't been able to accomplish that either.
reply
You mean in number of users?
reply
Yeah, if you look at the analytics page, you'll see that the number of stackers and spenders has been declining lately.
reply
Just now I was looking at the analytics, and a little more than 10 users registered today, I think it's little, I'm realizing that the people who zap are getting less and less, I zap like crazy but I don't see reciprocity sometimes, I've been in SN for 1 year, I'm not an OG, but I remember better times in terms of zapping.
reply
I'm really not sure what happened, but it coincided with MSM, which did rub a lot of people the wrong way.
reply
Maybe it had something to do with it... I also think that more posts related to zapping should be opened, to educate new ones, since zapping is one of the cornerstones of Stacker.news.

Did you compare to the trend from last year? I feel like the summer months were slow last year too.
reply
Yes, last year in June there were about 856 registrations, now we have more than half a month and we have about 300, we are going at a slower pace even though SN is larger than last year.
reply
Yeah but how many of those were bots?
I do think SN needs to do a better job marketing and advertising and increase its presence on social media. I think KR did a lot of that stuff and there is a void now. k00b is trying to wear a lot of hats.
