It’s a voluntary system that you choose to participate in, so you are actually choosing those things.
SN isn’t a state. These aren’t taxes.
LOL how is voluntary system, if the fees I paid are distributed to few others that I do not want to zap them in the first place.
Are you so blind not to see the similarity with gov subsidies? Or you do not want to see it because you are just another scumbag trying to take advantage from others, for no merit.
You make fool of yourself with insisting in this stupid thing.
If you buy a product that states 10% of the proceeds go to a particular charity, you weren’t forced to donate to that charity.
Don’t buy the product if you don’t want to fund it.
The cognitive dissonance is strong with this one.
And you insist with this because you only want to assmilk from others.
That’s not cognitive dissonance. It’s understanding the difference between acting under duress and acting freely. You are not under duress here, you just don’t like how the system works.
I want Stacker News to succeed and invested pretty heavily in it doing so. If I thought your idea had more potential I’d support it.
No, you only want to suck sats from rewards. Rewards that are created from sats that weren't for you specifically.
If someone else want to zap you, fine for me, but I do not want that the fees I am paying to post on SN to be distributed to you. That is exactly what a gov is doing with subsidies.
You know that if my goal was gaming the rewards I could do it much more efficiently than this.
As usual you’re just making bad faith character attacks because you can’t acknowledge someone might just disagree with you.
You are already gaming it. And not you are in a defensive position because you see that you might lose that milk. No different than a communist that want something that is not his.
You spend more because you are trying to take advantage of a flawed system (like the gov).
No different than a gov employee that take endless holidays meanwhile the slaves still pay taxes.
I repeat: if I zap X user, is because I want those sats to go to him not to you.
If I make a post and I pay the fee, I do not have that option to say "I do not want these sats to go to Undisciplined". That means I am somehow robbed by you, exactly like I am robbed by the gov employees.
And the most astonishing thing is that you, calling yourself libertarian, you still support this kind of bad statist behavior. You are a disgrace calling yourself libertarian.
