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 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?
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 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?
