In the past, beginning of this year we had the MSM contest, that created a lot of confusion, crazy-mania, discrepancies, assmilking, frustration etc It end up by being removed / reduced to daily MSM - the leaderboard.
Lately, again this created some discussions around a stacker that found his own way of playing the game. The opinions now are diverse in regards what were the true intentions of this stacker. I tried to stay away from the drama, being just a spectator.
But then came into my mind a proposal: why not removing entirely the whole leaderboard?
I see SN as a place where YOU PAY TO POST (say something) and not the way around (earn sats to shitpost).
Sats are really scarce and those who incentive this behavior (assmilking) do not really appreciate the real value of 1 sat. SN is really powerful on both sides, but let's try to keep the balance, otherwise will end up in a disaster.
All this drama with "why the X earn more than me" or "is cheating the algo" etc it only distract from what really matters: Bitcoin adoption, learning new stuff about Bitcoin.
As I said many times here: spend wisely your sats.
Some could say "hey you are hypocrite, you earned much more than many others from SN...". Yes, I earned a lot from SN, but I never asked for sats. people were giving me sats as appreciation for what am I doing on SN. I always tried to give back to those that post also good content (wisely). Also I paid electricity bills with sats from SN, to those in need and onboard many others.
But for me SN was always a way to pay to post content.
You must keep in mind one important aspect:
- 1 upvote = 1 sat
- 1 downvote = 1 sat
- if you want to give more sats it will not affect the votes, it is JUST your appreciation to OP.
That being said, from now on I will go dark, hiding my activity from leaderboard.
