One concern I have with the longevity of SN is that in order for things to continue, we need a fresh supply of new sats so that we can all keep paying to post, comment, and zap.
I know a lot of us withdraw sats and as a territory founder, I absolutely want every one of my territories to to generate revenue one day (probably 5-10 years away) which means that I intend to withdraw millions of sats in the future but how are we going to incentivize people sending sats to SN? Seems like we need to find more ways to bring fresh sats to the platform. We can’t continue to rely on k00b donating 100k sats a day.
I’m fairly certain that CC will keep a lot more money on the platform because they can’t be withdrawn which might incentivize more people to zap with them. They might also prevent the trolls and rewards-gamers from providing less value than they withdraw.
SN is the best there is atm but I def have some concerns with how we will ensure sats keep coming in for years to come.

I wonder that also. K00b's daily 100k donation helps bootstrap SN. I wonder how the site changes if and when that stops. Surely there will still be posts and discussions, but maybe there will be a little less traffic?

If the rewards system is just being gamed by trolls, then I imagine they’ll stop coming to the site if they stop making money.
