100 sats \ 2 replies \ @ruthless_stacker 8h \ parent \ on: How do i know that 'social media' accounts and posts... aren't mostly Bots? lightning
I have a restaurant near my area with a small staff, so they set up a token system. You give them money, buy tokens, and then go fuck around enjoying and eating whatever you want until you run out. If you have any tokens left, you can give them to your friends or use them next time, but you never get money back for them because you bought so many, knowing you'd return. Something SN has is similar, but consider @k00b a good manager who still keeps things pretty light. Try to understand why they’ve done this.
I understand why they've done it.
I'm just saying it's... a Stacker News Token which can be only used at Stacker News.
It's like saying... hey I like the post or content someone created while sitting a Chuck-e-Cheese so I'm going to send them REAL sats for their content. Great.
Now oh wait... I didn't know they didn't have the ability to receive those sats, no attached wallet for example.
So they are sent the chuck-e-cheese tokens, without me knowing, which they can ultimately only use at chuck-e-cheese.
Granted, chuck-e-cheese always 'takes their cut' maybe 30% regardless of whether the poster can receive tokens or Sats to begin with...
But that poster receives the chuck-e-cheese tokens instead and let's say they 'stack' them? Can they later, if they finally attach a receiving wallet, withdraw those tokens as sats they can spend anywhere?
No.
Stacker News used to be Sats-Only. Now it's "Sats-Only".... except when we use chuck-e-cheese tokens too...

We intend to allow you to see what kind of abilities people have. It's just non-trivial and we have a lot of energetic misconceptions to correct in our communication of this stuff.
'takes their cut'
We take no cut of zaps. SN ONLY makes money from territory founders paying for their territory. Otherwise all sats and CCs on SN end up in the rewards pool or as territory revenue.
