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.
reply
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.
reply
There will likely be more duplicates in such case, indeed. Good point. But more often than not, people favor the one that was posted first, so the second one (from the poster who tried to optimize posting time) will disappear into oblivion. That's the risk one takes by not posting immediately.
Yep, you've scooped me on a few Mises articles. I always zap people who beat me to posting an article.
Also, as SN grows, there will be more people around the clock. There are still only about 300 people active on any given day.
reply
that's why will be nice to have in the top ticker the option to see how many stackers are connected at that time.
Do you think that just letting it grow organically, on its own, is better or do you think marketing it would work better? SN reminds me of an earlier board, FIDOnet. But that was before the Internet.
reply
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.
