133 sats \ 12 replies \ @DarthCoin 30 Apr \ on: You are a SN Rewards System meta
As I said many times: zap wisely.
People tend to not understand my words at first glance, but later will came back to them.
Do not consider SN as a faucet game of earning sats!
Is the way around: you pay to play. If you realy have something to say, you pay. The reward in sats is because you said something very good, very important for the rest and you really deserve those sats.
I sm telling you this very seriously because I was around these types of faucets more than you can imagine for the last 12 years. When I was playing faucets that were dropping 1M sats/h you were playing with other shitcoins or not even that.
If a game can be played it will be played, and in SN case it will end up in a rigged gamed. As I warned many times: MSM game is rigged!
Later you will regret every sat that you didn't saved.
ZAP WISELY it's all I vould say.
^this^ and MSM is killing SN for me
I forgot to add my favorite meme:
Yes, make them pay, not the way around.
If you create a system of assmilking, you will not get good things.
Scarcity creates more value than you can imagine !
See this comment? And are many more like this:
As I said, many people are looking to every single sat to save, but you encourage them to spend thousands....
And this creates the bad behavior attracting more shitcoiners as SN would be a golden faucet of sats...
We need to attract bees to flowers not flies to shit...

Bees aren't going to be attracted to this flower if there's no pollen.
I'm clearly not saying to frivolously zap everything. I explicitly said to zap the kind of content you want to see more of.
People should absolutely be zapping thousands of sats if someone produces something of value. Why else would good content producers come here?
reply
I am not here because I will get some sats.
I am here because I have to help people that knows shit about Bitcoin and other stuff.
And I pay for every post I made... btw I am still on top with most comments ever. Not that I brag about, but shows my dedication to help people. Yes, not all my posts/comments are important, but most of them yes.
17042 items posted on SN, just multiply that with the time used to comment.
This is one of my contributions to Bitcoin and SN.
And also had a cost of posting.

It's hard to convince people that part of zapping wisely is zapping a meaningful amount. For Stacker News to continue working, stackers need to understand that.
reply
I will tell you another aspects:
- If somebody is zapping 100 or 10k sats to a post, how much would you zap? 100 or another 10k?
Many stackers will zap smaller amounts if they see a post getting large amount of sats from the beginning. I studied this behavior and that's why sometimes I zap let's say 100 sats if I like that post, then I wait to see others reactions. If more people are engaging and is a nice discussion, I would zap even more sats to the same OP.
Why this?
So if I am also the first one in commenting, they will not see how much I zapped initially.
People tend to have the "sheep syndrome" and following others behavior. Also they will zap because x zapped, but sometimes they don't even read what was written.
- What if you zapped initially 10k sats and later in the comments the OP says something stupid that even contradict the original post?
That's why I said "zap wisely"....
reply
You've mentioned this approach before and I think it's very interesting. I don't usually have the diligence to circle back around and see how the discussions are evolving, but I'm glad that's something you're doing.
I've definitely prematurely zapped someone and regretted it later when they said something dumb.
I totally agree, "Zap wisely". I'm trying to get people to think about what that means, though, because I don't think it's what they're doing and I think SN will be better if they start.
reply
I came onto SN thinking I would take millions of sats out, but my mindset changed very quickly.
I feel it is better to have a zero sum game, where you dont take out anything.
I believe the content will be better in the long run that way, but I could be wrong.
I have only been here a little while and everyone has treated me pretty well.
reply
That's very much how I feel too.

There will always be things you dont like, but you can mute them.
It does get annoying when people post the same news articles.
There is a learning curve, I am sure my posts will get better with time.
Takes time to figure out how to present your posts in your own way! :)
