34 sats \ 4 replies \ @Undisciplined 14 Jan \ on: Stacker News Encourages Deep Sharing FiresidePhilosophy
I think these are great points. @Satosora and I were just talking about this earlier.
What is SN doing for people that keeps them around?
And, conversely, what is it not doing for those who don't stick around?
You mean, other than being my beer fund?
Just kidding
In one sentence: I feel accepted for who I am, my particularities and peculiarities, my quirks and idiosyncrasies

I think what happens with a lot of new users is they get pitched that it is a great way to stack sats. Then they join and maybe post or comment a couple times but don’t get any sats so they give up. It takes some time to get traction on SN and to find your rhythm. I think some people think it will be a passive way to stack sats, make a few comments a day and collect sats. They don’t get that in v4v you must provide value first to get some in return.

I think some people might have the assumption that orgasm-ing or lamenting the price of BTC is all that is needed to get some sats. I made that mistake too. I also tried to post some rudimentary stuff about BTC before I came to the conclusion that I don’t have to talk about BTC if that’s not my field of expertise. I can just be myself! That, of course, took time.

I have also noticed this.
Especially for some of the people I refer, they look at some of the big posts and expect to make out like a bandit on here.
But I have to tell them that they need patience, building up a reputation takes time.
I have always wondered which linked I clicked to get onto this site.
I wonder if I was referred by someone?
Can k00b or ek check that?
