If somebody come as new user to SN only with "I want to earn sats" in mind.. is a moron shitcoiner.
Even me that I joined very early to SN, when I saw it, in my mind wasn't seen as a faucet, but more as a decent clean platform to discuss with other bitcoiners.
The thing is that you created a monster and now it gets harder to control it. That's why you have me here pushing with my controversial ideas.
If somebody come as new user to SN only with "I want to earn sats" in mind.. is a moron shitcoiner. maybe, but that's like... 80% of the appeal. Why else would you get onto a new thing? Switching costs, annoyance of learning a new thing etc.
Probs a good reason why new peeps/activity here has slowed down drastically (#944412)

Why else would you get onto a new thing?
That new thing being SN? Because of quality content. Full stop. It's literally the single reason why I'm here and what drove me here prior to even creating an account. You yourself are a producer/curator of great content; I assume you get joy out of doing that. Am I wrong in that?
If zaps are the more compelling reason to join, then quality is likely to decline overall, because the driving force will become the
gainz rather than producing and consuming quality content.reply
half-interesting point... I've reflected on this a few times (can't find the posts here: #877087), but I think it's a combo of
- semi-interesting material (among lots of annoying noise; so, like Twitter)
- zaps
- an additional platform/forum on which I can share the work I produce anyway (i.e., here #945143)
Don't think I would bother if there weren't a sizeable zap component involved. That's also one of the reasons I'm much less interested/committed to SN now than six months ago (when the zapping was much better).
This quote, from my hatter post, resonate
what I post on SN is more effort, relatively speaking, for less direct reward (zaps) and stingier leaderboard rewards. So, rationally speaking, I should attend to it less.

It's hard for me personally to see SN as a side-hustle, so I have to rely on your feedback, as a professional author. This is valuable.
You're most likely the #1 ranked recipient of my CCs (while I'm unlikely to be your #1 zapper.) I kind of feel like this actually matters; I'm treating this like a customer satisfaction study. Not the ones for form tho. The ones where we improve based on the feedback and actually come out more excellent.
The way I see it, we need to drive more traffic to original content on SN. Let me draw things on my magnetic travel whiteboard sheets today and try some things... I'm feeling inspired and I have a day off coding today.

I'm treating this like a customer satisfaction study. That's valuable, you're right.
And the feedback/engagement I get here is obviously miles better than anywhere else (nostr, comments, twitter, emails or real life). In part, which is my point, because we get zaps and rewards for engaging

wait to see when k00b and ek will add more bots (they already exist on SN) just to create more "content" (aka noise)... and also you will realize that you are talking with bots.
Good luck with that wonderful "experience" !

This was of course all a set up to make you defeat your own bet 😂
If SN wants to be another shithole reddit or HN with a lot of useless noise and spam, so be it. But will end up exactly like a shithole after a while. And what we are seeing today with a "slow down" in posts and active users, is the consequence of the Madness March and all those shittons of sats thrown away to assmilkers.
But if SN wants to be something different, must take a different path and apply different rules and features.
Forget about the loser spammers, assmilkers, scammers, idiots, retards, shitcoiners etc those are the 90% of the noise and only will make things worse, making the good stackers to go away.

that condemns it to irrelevancy -- small fish with a few dozen posters. Nada más.

That depends on how SN will be promoted outside... it must find its own niche.
SN reminds me of BitcoinTalk forum in the early years...
SN must be the continuation of all those past platforms, a new way to talk about Bitcoin.
In the beginning was BitcoinTalk forum, then slowly got forgotten due to many things.
Then came r/Bitcoin that also slowly got spliced in many other subs, hijacked, spammed, scammed etc until forgotten into irrelevance.
In parallel was bitcoin.stackexchange, with more curated and specific discussio9ns and Q&As about Bitcoin... slowly dominated by standard questions over and over and also introducing damn bots. So people got bored.
SN must find its way to replace ALL of these past platforms and offer a truly best platform for Bitcoin discussions, support, fun, announcements, markets whatever you like. Instead is trying to get all kind of things non-bitcoin related, just to attract shit noise traffic. As I said many times... if you play with shit... you smell like shit.
PEOPLE WILL REMEMBER MY WORDS
