189 sats \ 22 replies \ @Undisciplined 2 Jul \ on: Why don't stackers donate to rewards anymore? meta
In keeping with You are a SN Reward System, I prefer zapping out to the specific stuff I want to reward.
I get that. I am just surprised with the trend change. Rewards used to get a lot of donations but lately I have been noticing very little because I donate daily.

Personally I loved checking in every day and getting a daily reward, then I felt the need to donate. When the rewards went monthly I wandered away and I have no idea what is what.
Good question.
Just remember that the system of Stacker did change and that when things change people like me also change. Just my two sats.

Many of us had criticized the monthly. Especially when it went a second month. The first month was kind of a fun idea and I wouldn’t mind if they brought it back once a year for March. But we are back to daily rewards now so hopefully all the stackers that were turned off by the monthly come back.

Hopefully indeed. I do feel like we’re seeing more of the OGs around lately.
As a wise man has said, "If you are not breaking anything you are not doing anything, also."
The Stacker process is all about movement. It mirrors the world we live in. Hopefully we can stack good proof of work in the process.
Even when I gently or vehemently disagree with a Stacker I'm still reminding myself that that Stacker is a mirror of me. I'm thinking, "Why is my mirror so dirty, corrupt or rotten? Then the mirror says, "exactly, Grasshopper!"

I think this is a good point. How do you feel now that it has gone back to daily rewards.
reply
I was kind of aware but not really. I think the daily rewards is a great thing. Yes, we should train ourselves to be patient but I think also amassing sums of sats is not a good thing. It's better to have a daily pile because that is better feedback on the work that each person does.
Personally I ran google ads for 15 years at a domain and once I actually wrote something that made $5 which was thousands of hits.... but I never ever got that $5 because I never earned much more. (So my writing sucks but also the ads sucked and eventually I disconnected.) In one week of stacker I was hooked by earning sats that in one week was more valuable than 15 years of web work.
Daily rewards are a great boon. If the backend is a painful experience then I understand why there would be a change. But also some days I donated 10,000 sats just because I was grateful for the work the Stacker team and plebs do.

I think a lot of stackers do have appreciation for having a place like SN where they can both produce content and receive and give sats as well. So I completely understand how you feel regarding grateful for the team and fellow stackers.
It is interesting. I believe Darth and Nemo used to donate regularly. It may have only ever been a couple of people.

One of my favorite comments on SN by @DarthCoin about how to use the site:
I hope I will not reveal some algo secrets with this, but I found something funny and maybe useful for others on SN, especially for new stackers here.Every morning I go to SN pool and hit the zap button. Once.Then read the new posts from "all" and if I found something interesting I zap it. You should be the first one doing that and you will see why later. If there are already some comments, zap also those, especially those that weren't already zapped (if are good).Also post a new comment in the new posts if nobody did it already. Of course if is really necessary, not just for the sake of commenting. Go to Saloon and talk with the funny nemo. Not too much, otherwise will zap you like crazy 😂😂😂Post a good meta that people are interested too and engage in discussions. Not just post and leave. Engaging will bring you more visibility for your post. If you see that got more sats, go bacl to SN pool and hit that "donation" button again. You can do this anytime, many times per day. Don't worry are not lost sats, but contrary!Do this all day, when you have time. Then wait for next day. Surprise! Your initial "donation" to SN pool is back, sometimes even more than you expect.Why?Because all the sats in SN poll will be redistributed for your previous "activity". As bonus, you have infinite cowboy hats!Stackers, learn how to use SN...I do not use SN to get rich... I don't need that, but all these SN sats I use them later to onboard many nocoiners, every fucking day.

Still good advice.

Maybe I'll give it a try.

Yes, that's exactly the comment I was thinking about.

An SN classic, I think

I'm guessing that's going to make the October 11th edition of This Day in Stacker News.
reply
That is a possibility.
