I guess the difference in degree would be about same as the difference between the 3rd degree and the 33rd degree. Sometimes the difference in degree is like the difference between survival and non-survival. I just do not choose non-survival, if I can help it.
This is the fourth year I've done this and there's never been a single story that I regretted not following in the moment.
You can do a simple test with yourself. A month from now, look back through your posts and count how many of those stories you're still talking about.

There are hardly any that are worth thinking about after a month, but, also, there are many that are worth keeping in mind forever. Some of the economic posts are good posts to refresh your memory on “Human Action” and “Man, Economy and State”, for instance.

I've zapped several of your ~econ posts. I agree that they're good illustrations of economic principles.

Yep, a second thought. They are only good for Austrians and others who are not wedded to the statist regimes of the world.
reply
Yes, but for most people they are “garbage”. Keeping in mind the treasure/garbage relationship.
reply
Maybe, but keep in mind the timing point I made earlier. You might just be missing your audience and your posts are buried by the time they wake up.
reply
I understand that completely. Unfortunately, late is when I have the chance to post. I cannot do it early enough to catch my audience. I will just have to live with it.

There have been talks about allowing people to schedule when their posts should get posted. This might become a reality once the devs have time again after the attached wallet implementation madness comes to an end...
reply
Yes, scheduled posts sounds nice, however, there may be collisions on posting.articles. Comments are fine but there are some articles many people are interested in posting. For instance, there’s more than one Austrian economist on the board.
Also, as SN grows, there will be more people around the clock. There are still only about 300 people active on any given day.
One strategy would be to make an alt account. That way, if people don't like your partisan politics content and ignore or block you for that, they will still see your less controversial ~econ content if you post it with a different account.
