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.

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.
