138 sats \ 33 replies \ @grayruby 16h \ on: Are Stacker News Rewards Too Salient or Are They Not Too Salient Enough? meta
Agree regarding the "sweet spot". I do wonder how this scales though. Does 10x users mean more potential for sats and thus incentivizes optimization or does balance persist because there are more users, content etc.
When 10x users?
reply
SN may never 10x users. It's may always remain niche but who knows there could be a tipping point along the way and wave of people join. It is hard to predict.

Will there ever be a replacement for Reddit?
If so, why wouldn't it be Stacker News?
reply
I'm not a fan of Reddit. But I wanna break the myth so....It's a far fetched lie that SN will ever replace reddit. However the truth is that It'll or it has already successfully replaced r/Bitcoin.
reply
It might be far-fetched but also platforms are much less permanent than we imagine them to be.
There are a lot of people who love the Reddit format but hate how Reddit is managed. Stacker News is for all of them and they just have to figure that out.
reply
BTW There are also people who hate how SN is managed.
I actually don't wanna compare SN to any other platforms. It's unique.
reply
We can acknowledge that SN is it's own thing without pretending it isn't more like some things than others.
It's a much more natural fit for Reddit refugees than TikTok refugees.
reply
Yes I agree in this sense.
I'm sure you've listened about 'Quora'. I think SN is closest to it, not reddit.
who hates how SN is managed?
reply
Commie freeriders
Chatterboxes
Good question
Hahahaha! Exactly hashtag never
reply
You're right but nobody agrees with you.

Very well summarized, fren
reply
I think that will largely depend on how it translates to boosts/donations. When the rewards pot is in the hundreds of thousands, there's a lot to be gained from that top spot (especially if bitcoin has appreciated considerably).
reply
If Bitcoin price appreciates 10x from now, do you think we'll still see more boosts in 100ks range?
reply
Not necessarily, but we might see more total boost volume.
reply
"We might see" in fact we'll see but not scaling to today's time because for that we again need 10x active users at the least who should be ready to sacrifice 10x previous sats for posts and comments as well.
What I want is SN needs to be real cheap in terms of 'pay to post'. People are not coming here to only post when they can earn a good amount elsewhere by posting and then buy Bitcoin with that money. I'm talking about many big Bitcoiners who are active on twitter all day long but won't comment or post here.
