Yes, I agree. People has to feel it in a more evident manner tough. Only there we will filter who's really interested, because many might just don't care at all if SN disappears tomorrow and if we are permeable to that attitude in excess SN will start rooting from the bottom up. That implies that calls to logic will only be received by people who already behaves correctly, and will be religiously ignored by people that doesn't care at all. The virtue of a proper scheme is that it not only allows well behaved people to operate in a more organic way, but it will also filter out the people that will use what's left to good will to profit from it at the expense of others. Regardless of the POV, the answer is always the hard cold scheme that drives the compass.

People do need to be made aware of the incentive structure, though. That's the point of these posts. I know it's in the faq, but that doesn't resonate with everyone, so I occasionally try a different angle on conveying the point to people.

Oh I'm not saying you shouldn't! On the contrary, you're underscoring what's clearly a failure in the scheme that must be corrected. That goes even beyond schooling people, it's a more fundamental error. And thank you for bringing it up

The message for new people is intentionally vague to avoid having people try to game the system: creating and zapping good content will earn you rewards, as will referring new users.
I think that's smart, but you're right that it needs to somehow also be more obvious what that actually means and the scheme itself can always be improved.

Exactly 👌👌
