Today, on my almost obligatory visit to X, I found this post that made me think about how lucky I am to have come to Stacker News.
As shown, it is a crude propaganda of the platform to scam people. Here they are literally telling you "YOU WILL MAKE MONEY WITH US" but you have to pay.
Someone might think, "but in SN you have to pay to earn SATs" and that thought is not totally false, but the way is different.
First, SN gives you the opportunity to start from scratch, with nothing through 5 free comments and your Bio. Of course, you must then make good use of that opportunity and generate content that is worthwhile, you must do good PoW.
Also, SN does not tell you "come and earn money", it tells you to work hard, learn, share and practice the V4V philosophy. Earning SATs is something else we earn at SN, in addition to a lot of training in many fields, but fundamentally in Bitcoin.
Speaking of Bitcoin, I have no idea how X is "paid", but SN rewards you with SATs, real money. When the time comes for Crédito Vaquero, there will be other options, but there will always be SATs.
So it is a privilege for me to have come this far. Thank you @CriptoPanas for showing me the way. Thank you @k00b and the rest of the team for this excellent work.
To the new ones, do not miss this opportunity but respect the platform, to the less new ones, let's help others to grow. We will always benefit everyone.

Stacker News is something that made the transition from Twitter, Facebook and other mind numbing online activities futile. I used to write long rants on Facebook, Google+, Twitter and other places only to have people:
  1. Not respond
  2. Respond with a thumb up
  3. Argue with me and then get tired and leave.
  4. I would do number 3.
  5. No value at all as the Algo would hide me.
On NOSTR I'm not very successful because I'm not equally playing with others whereas here I'm paying and playing the same as even my worst detractor who, I must admit, is just as legitimate as me because he has entered into the same exact circumstance.
I still like NOSTR but it's so powerful and massive that it's in the 1998 phase of Linux. Here Stacker is exactly ahead of the game by using legacy and new.

Stacker News is way ahead of the game in part because it is Pay-to-Post. It filters out all the noise... and the signal to noise ratio goes up, way way up imo.
If a post isn't worth 100 sats (around 7 cents?) to post and share with others... if it isn't worth 7 cents to occupy some else's time and attention then it probably isn't worth posting.
It would be a great filter for nostr in my opinion.

We've all agreed that Stacker News is unmatched. So then we just have to respect it with good posts and helping as many people as we can to learn about it and use it. Although in my opinion Stacker News is the closest thing to Bitcoin.
  1. It's not for everyone, only for the deserving.
  2. It takes a lot of PoW
So, let's not attract others for referrals, let's do it to grow.

X aims to profit from its users, not reward them. Today marks 21 days since I started at SN, and for me there is no comparison... the quality at SN is much higher

Pay to Post. Pay for another's attention. Pay to capture the attention of another... it reduces spam and makes people think 'hey is it worth it if I post right now?'

As I mentioned in the post Stacker News follows the spirit of Bitcoin.
SN=Bitcoin
Other platforms=Shit coins
