100 sats \ 6 replies \ @Undisciplined 5 Dec \ parent \ on: No leaderboard, No daily rewards ! meta
I basically agree with that, but you're throwing out the baby with the bathwater.
The rewards aren't designed to be a faucet. They're designed to reward behavior that improves Stacker News.
You don't have to take away the entire system to fix whichever part is broken.
If SN will be populated with serious bitcoiners minding their business and helping each others with nice content and discussions, then yes, the rewards could be something more, like sharing their own "pay to posts" sats. That I can agree.
But right now the rewards only attract more assmilkers. If you still do not see that, sorry but you are really blind.
Removing rewards will make stackers to zap each others in a more direct way and really appreciation. That will show the real value of each sat.
If I would be an assmilker and I know that 1000 sats zapped through multiple other assmilking posts will come back in form of 1500 sats at the end of the day, then ofc will incentivize assmilking and sockpupeting.
But if they will not get nothing in return, their sats will be gone. EMPTY POCKETS

I do see what you're saying, although I think you're exaggerating the issue.
There have been several conversations where k00b acknowledges that the incentives need to be adjusted. They're planning on addressing this once the wallet stuff is finished.
My problem is that you're basically proposing the destruction of SN to fix an issue with SN. The rewards system is why we have higher signal than nostr clients or other platforms that enable V4V.

FUCK Nostr! Fuck all the rest! Why we should compare SN with other platforms?
Is so simple: to not throw shit into the fan... it will come more flies than bees.
If somebody wants to smell like shit, so be it, they can play each others with their own shit but not involving the others that do not want to participate in their dirty game.
SN will not be destructed if the rewards are removed. SN could be financed through many other ways. Other type of games and.
Important is that is a clean place where we can discuss nice things and things that matter.
Right now is very close to became another crap reddit....
And making a real "pay to post" will put SN on top of many platforms. And not "post to earn"....
"Post to earn" is a shitcoin mentality.
Stacker that post something and want to earn sats, then must be post something really good and others will zap real sats then, directly from their own pockets.

From your reaction, I think we've gotten to the point of the conversation where you know I'm right, but you won't just admit it.
reply
No you are wrong and on top of that you still sustain all the assmilkers.
That's a big problem!

Ok, if you recall, I did write two top posts about the importance of downzapping.
Think I'm on the other side of this if you want, though.
