It certainly might. This comes up a lot when we talk about scaling SN. Are there a lot of other people who will "get it" or have we already found most of the high quality stackers?
I'm sure it's a little bit of both, but this might remain a somewhat small community, if it turns out that we're all just a bunch of weirdos.
I would guess that there are a lot of other folks out there that would appreciate SN! They just, to this point, don’t know about it. That is the problem, how to inform people that are prospective clients. I think this is one of those things better left to word of mouth and a good incentive for bringing in new people. That is how I got into it.

That seems likely, but most of us have failed miserably at recruiting, regardless of how suitable our target audiences seemed.

I don’t know, are you asking correctly?

Apparently not

I think a lot of people on nostr are less gullible than desertdave.

Just depends on how long stackers are willing to stick around and be taken from. Maybe the devs will make a change and stacker can actually grow. Never know.
reply
Show some receipts that people are being "taken from". I don't like all the vague accusations.
reply
I don’t see much “just taken from”, what I see is that there are a lot of us both giving and taking, depending on the conversation. I don’t see a majority of takers out there.
Maybe i am just blind and non-discerning. There does seem to be a lot of talk of “assmilking” going on.
reply
Since k00b subsidizes the rewards so heavily, most of us are net receivers of sats.
Hopefully, the assmilking talk dies down soon. It's annoying. I promise that isn't what SN was always like.
reply
There is a good reason why "ass-milker" is coming up often now. I didn't get it at first. Now I see, it is here to help us see the truth that not many want to look at yet.
reply
its in the code. if you have seniority, its easier to win sats from the crowd. its pretty simple.
reply
That is not what's in the code, as far as I understand it. Having higher trust confers benefits, but trust and seniority are not the same thing.
Also, trust doesn't directly earn you more rewards. It makes your zaps more meaningful in where content is ranked. High trust primarily benefits the recipients of zaps.
reply
Perhaps the problem is in how you earn the trust. Is that very transparent?
reply
It is transparent, but also not ideal. This post probably gives the best sense of what the problem is.
You gain trust with other stackers by zapping the same content as them. Then, your average trust score is used to weight your zaps on content.
reply
Your proposed solution would spread the rewards out on a time basis, but the problem would still remain: gaming the system. I don’t think that is avoidable, someone will always try gaming the system because that’s what people do.
reply
It was a while ago. I don't even remember proposing a solution.
Yes, people will always attempt to game systems, and some will succeed. I think the reason Stacker News works so well is that it's easier to just earn the rewards honestly.
There's low salience in behaving in an underhanded fashion.
stackers have outlawed this. turn on wild west mode in your /settings to see outlawed content.
Sure. If you know how to read code. Not for me. I know some people who are good at that though.
reply
Okay. Like I said, I am clueless. Doesn't change what I have seen.
