August 5, 2025. Satirizing
The Stacker News community woke up today to a surprise (both in the air and in their wallets): rewards for posts and comments seem to have been slashed in half. The platform where users earn sats for joining discussions and posting content, hasn’t dropped any official explanation yet. Meanwhile, folks are speculating: is it just a glitch in the rewards system? Wouldn’t be the first time, but this one’s got a bit of a conspiracy vibe. While the mystery’s still hanging, one thing’s for sure: whether it’s a bug, a policy tweak, or just some spiritual alignment with Bitcoin itself, Stacker News just reminded us that in the Bitcoin world, even social platforms do halving.
