Growing the user base is an inherent part of any product/tool/app/startup/project out there be it linked to crypto or not, that´s my humble opinion.
I see almost no point into crafting an awesome tool like this one and keep it reserved only for BTCLN users or devs.
Example: territories.... here you have Cannabis, History, BooksandArticles, Sports, Music and many others not related to BTC in any way. Is there any chance a shitcoiner onboarding here could add some valuable content to any of those territories? I think yes...the fact that the guy is a shitcoiner does not means he or she cannot add value to SN.
As you said, SN has developed itself to become something more...so, as i can see it, growing is the next step. Devs can still preserve its own space while others can enjoy other spaces and still add value to the platform.
While I agree to some extent, I think you're then competing with Reddit and Twitter, which have enormous network effects (there are several million people in Reddit subs for those categories you listed). SN could be a cool way for noobs to play with zapping; maybe that's the benefit.
If, for example, I wanted to know what is the "best underrated music album of the 70s?"-- I would ask Reddit and get a million people seeing the post and thousands responding. If I asked that same question here, what I would be asking is really "What do hardcore bitcoiners think is the most underrated album of the 70s?"
Nothing wrong with that inherently.
I'm not opposed to the growth per se, but I'm already seeing some suspicious posts (possibly bots or trolls) on here. Trying to scale unnaturally will probably bring more of that.
Anyway, good luck with the endeavour!

It´s just a poll. I am not part of the Team and have no decision power. I just want to measure what Growth Managers measure: from current user base, how many think A or B?
There is no way to compete against Twitter or Reddit right now i know but nothing can´t stop SN to become bigger while keeping quality...that´s the point.
