I wish my guidance councillor told me that shit-posting on SN/nostr was a career option. On my math, @k00b has made about USD $63,000 in sats from his territories.
Well done, sir. Inspirational.
Another misconception about SN.

You misinterpret the stats. That’s how much people participating in those territories have earned. What I’ve earned is listed as revenue.

I never was good at math...whatever the number is, congrats. The site is great and the concept is fantastic.
reply
I was just thinking today that SN is better than hopping on Nostr where the problem is finding interesting content and people to follow.

plus the only people getting zaps are the already-famous people.

Forums are relatively flat identity wise. It’s one of the best things about them aside from linear conversations.

I think same too. Especially, I find SN to be an excellent site to learn bitcoin.

I find that tiktok is good for that. There's even people on there that are extremist right wingers so you'll probably fit right in.
reply
Everything is extreme right when you're standing on the far left. Cheer up mate. As you nostriches say, pura vida.

Wait, I think we should do that math on that so you can see how rich he is. k00b spends all his time on this site. So how many years is that? And how many hours do you think he works in a year? Multiply those numbers together. Then take $63,000 divided by that number. Wow....he is rich. I am being sarcastic...just so you realize...
reply
Fair. I'll boost him some more. I am not jealous...I swear...hah

Its especially funny because not only do I:
  1. Lose money as a user of the site
  2. The company also spends a couple hundred thousand dollars per year (mostly on salaries) that it doesn’t earn back at all yet
reply
I guess my guidance councillor didn't lead me astray...rooting for this site to become profitable.
reply
What I meant is the time that you actually put into this passion project doesnt equate the monetary value you could earn somewhere else. Im sure if you did this calculation, you would probably be earning pennies an hour.

Definitely and you’re right- money is the least meaningful form of payment one can get.

I do find this comical.

Shitposting For Sats

A poem.
Where the roosters and chickens go, The grass is very green If they are not couped up If you know what I mean!
No one takes the time To police the cocks and hens They go on eating and pecking And eventually defecating.

Stacker News it’s not about earning money/sats, but earning knowledge. That’s why it is a great forum.
reply
That’s one way to grind lol
reply
If u do what u love u never work a day in ur life lol
reply
you have to take the risk of 3 mil sats to open the territory though and then if not many people post, presumably you wouldn't make much. don't know if there other associated costs with running it tho
quite interesting

What the fuck?! This guy has really come far from the old days of when Stacker news was brand new and the volume was low. But sometimes I wish for those good ol days. Well done, @k00b. Well done. You should share a little bit with me. I work two jobs and still barely make ends meet. 🤮

Open some PRs on SN and he’ll pay you
