Has anyone else noticed an increase in the number of posts and quality of content over the past few weeks? SN has always been a place with high signal, but it has been chock full of great content and more users recently. This improvement does seem to correspond to the increase in bitcoin's price. I thought the coming bull market would cause an increase in newbie posts and spammy content, but instead the overall quality of the site seems to have improved.
tips are higher too, it seems

I suspect it's just a natural consequence of SN's growing network effect. More people => more posts/comments => more tips => bigger stacks => bigger tips => more people => ...
So really we're just growing, and with that the content is becoming higher signal due to the increased effect of V4V.

Power of sats!

The power of sats indeed! I can't speak for others, but the possibility of receiving sats is definitely the incentive for me to reply and post here. Being able to spend sats to boost posts / replies I find valuable is also great! Loving the value for value model.
