Was reading “The Logic of Life” by Tim Harford and came across knowledge spillover.
This term explains why people prefer to live in bustling cities despite high rental costs and other costs of living. Cities are hotbeds for interesting people, and the networking among individuals catalyses unique ideas and brings about innovation. This is also why ladies locate themselves in dynamic cities like New York City - to find themselves a good catch.
SN can easily be considered a bustling city, where people from all over the world congregate. The sheer diversity of ideas enriches our lives. Shouldn’t we emphasise this trait as SN’s unique value proposition, something that differentiates us from Nostr?
The emphasis seems to be centered on earning sats thus far. But maybe time-poor professionals don’t find that it would be worth their while to post their thoughts in exchange for sats. We might have more successful in building our tribe if we position ourselves as a hub of interesting ideas.
In fact, we can even have something like Pay to post. Where ideas flourish. With the introduction of CCs, we could use this to attract a new wave of Stackers who arrive at SN, expecting to use CCs in exchange for spirited interaction.
For what it’s worth, I complied all the posts related to bringing more traffic to SN:
Media kit (v1) (@Jon_Hodl) #739953
Music banners (@Design_r) #821464
Brand book & Media kit (v1.1)(@Design_r) #786223
The Return of SN Foundry (@grayruby) #845154
More Ideas for SN Foundry (@cryotosensei) #847054
Not sure if I would be a suitable ambassador for SN, like what @siggy47 once suggested, but I’m good at tracking the flow of events (maybe because I’m a teacher haha)

Thank you for the mention. Comparing SN with nostr does not make sense, are totally different things and there are people there to that is there focusing on getting zaps. Anyhow, I like the cities analogy, it makes so much sense.
There are more banners for territories here #787497 and a figma template to play with
The issue that I see with figma is that not many are familiar with it and maybe is too complicated to export files from there. I was just planning to build a Media kit v1.2 here in SN, upload each file individually and link the reference in case stackers want to use it here in posts and comments. Plus a zip file with all the assets in png and svg to be downloaded. Does anyone know a trusted media hosting where I could upload the zip file in a way that will be not deleted?

I’m sorry to miss out on your other banners!
I wait with bated breath for your media kit v1.2!

You have my endorsement as SN Ambassador. Let's see if @k00b will make you a special hat.
I like this framing for Staacker News. It emphasizes the things we want to emphasize. People just looking for sats will be discouraged, while people looking for quality discussions will be attracted.

It took me several months to arrive at your state of mind, but better late than never!
I remember how you wanted to attract people with the right mindset at MINDS.
I think I have been thinking about this problem the wrong way. I used to think “how do I attract people to come here and make them stay?”, but now I think “how can we attract the right people to come here?”
reply
Yeah, it's a better starting place. I was talking to @grayruby, though, about how we both probably would have been turned off by leading with pay-to-post.
I'm not sure the right people realize that there's a market for their thoughts.
reply
In all honesty, I would be too haha. I remember feeling so excited with the free sats.
I think I have been influenced by @BlokchainB recently. He really uses his territories as his blog space, and his zaps are so much higher than the norm that I feel that my posts/comments don’t deserve that much validation. He is one of a kind - and how do we make SN appealing to more Bitcoiners like him? Haha
reply
I hear you. @grayruby and I were literally talking about this last night.
Ultimately, we need more people who are net spenders.

You're the one with multitude of ideas so I too endorse you to be the ambassador for SN.
Let's see if there's any competition. ;)

No need for competition. We can all be community managers/ambassadors. When the tide rises, all boats rise

Stacker News - like Reddit, but not shit
