As expected from you, here is well articulated and inspired message with a clear actionable insight, a value triad:
I'm interested in the concept of "counter value." Is there another essay where this gets fleshed out a little more?
Brave indeed is the writer who believes he can get his readers to return to a webpage after once having departed.
Yes. And i'll add that we ought to consider ourselves lucky if we have attracted readers willing to give them at least "one sitting."
The architects of infinite scrolling mechanisms seem hell bent on ensuring that we don’t.
I think there is a lot someone--even a native English speaker-- can learn by approaching their writing from the perspective of a language learner!
Thanks for sharing the fruits of your labour!
Fall of the House of Usher was a decent watch. Recommend for all you Poe-heads.
So was The Pale Blue Eye
The throwaway trash economy is strong in this here neck of the woods -- 60 dollars even felt a reasonable price for a machine that would have cost close to a thousand to replace.
1-5 bucks
Wow
Au contraire this is the first Adam's post I'm seeing here. Thanks for sharing -- a great sunday morning read!
I enjoyed The Remains of the Day. Had a Downton Abbey vibe.
It was years ago that I read it, but the humor and clever use of dialogue stand out in my memory.
I'll keep an eye out for this one, your review intrigued me.
I agree! If you could disable zaprank in your territory, would you do it? If so, what would you replace it with?
I am not sure I fully understand how this would affect
hot
and top
rankings and an items visibility.I'm guessing this might imply that something other than trust score could affect a zappers/commenters weight.
Could a stacker's number of unique readers factor in? Maybe the number of views on their items. Or even the number of their posts' one day referrals?
I'm thinking about how people use YT views to get a gauge on someone's reliability. Flawed as this may be, it is one of the first things I look for when I discover content over there.
To be clear I'm not anti-zaprank, but conversely, I find it to be fun working within its limits.
Thanks, I really appreciate your feedback.
Do you have any plans for advertising the newsletter beyond SN?
I don't have much a presence anywhere else online, so no--nothing solid yet. Let me think on it some and I'll get back to you.
One idea I did have was, if the first few issues went well, maybe by the New Year start to put together some physical media.
Ack the point about tags, see above.
I appreciate your commentary as usual. Any and all efforts appreciated.
I appreciate the feedback. You're not the only one saying that (see #1220534) about tags so lets pin this and say that this is optional.
I do like seeing people acknowledge what genre/form they're creating in, since I think it can show self-awareness; however, I do acknowledge that a tag is not the best way of accomplishing this.
Therefore, the only requirement for being considered is posting here -- no tag necessary.
I set reply fees at 10 sats to discourage spam/trolling/hateful comments since sharing literary and artistic content takes making oneself vulnerable online. I'm hoping this contributes to making a space where people feel encouraged to share.
Many similar onine spaces simply disable comments. Obviously we dont need to do that here.
to be more precise -- it is more like one with a rather lax submission process where you simply pay 2 post and you are published.
As we all know, the pay to post model helps in mitigating spam but doesn't necessarily enforce a high publication standard for content. This new approach is my way of encouraging more of the content I am interested in seeing.
I'm not saying I've been at all disappointed by the content being shared here, but quite the contrary indeed ...
Can you talk more about The World's Most Costly Newsletter as a title? It makes me chuckle, that's intended, right?
Yes! I'm anticipating the territory to continue to cost me precious sats, since i intend to share monthly profits with contributors, as stated. seeing as ill be using the territory as the main "discovery mechanism," the project will require a fair deal of PoW.
plus, imagine saying, "i was featured in the world's most costly newsletter." It should turn some heads.
im hoping Saylor is right and we get 14M per bitcoin and then we can look back san say "wow! that was one costly newsletter!" 😁
