6 sats \ 10 replies \ @nullcount 4 Aug 2023 \ on: Name a scam that’s so ingrained, we don’t realize it’s a scam (besides fiat) meta
Using sats as a unit bias to influence behavior.
You can earn 500k sats if you use stacker news 4 hours a day for 12 months and post quality content! Sounds like a really big number, right? But its only $150 usd which is what the median earner in the US gets to take home in a single day of work.
Using SN as an income source is a scam. Your time is better spent elsewhere if you're here for money.
Many places in the world have much lower median wages.

If they can read/write English, there are way easier and better places for them to spend time/effort to earn income online.

I don't think we disagree on anything specifically. I just wanted to balance out the sentiment.
I'm not sure we'll ever be able to compete with an english speaking job-job, but I'm not sure we won't either.

I remain SN bearish. Reddit has 10,000x the users and they're struggling to pay their 2,000 employees without paying any users directly.
But sure, I guess a niche reddit clone that pays users instead of a SecOps team to prevent wallet draining bugs could someday give their users a meaningful wage. As long as the users exploit said bug lol
