It's been a month, so it's time to be honest with myself about where my 47 posts succeeded and failed with you cowboys.

I have not gotten better or worse over time. Some hit, most don't.

I use median instead of average to remove outliers. Success in ~alter_native. @DesertDave zaps hard. Success in ~BooksAndArticles. @siggy47 zaps hard. idk why you all love ~Dogs_And_Cats but you do. ~podcasts rewards you releasing your own podcasts. @grayruby zaps comments like crazy, but posting in ~Stacker_Sports is just for the joy of it.

Speaking of joy, I wanted to check in with my feelings. My posts take (high/med/low) effort to write. Likewise, my greed over how many sats I anticipate getting zapped ranges (high/med/low). I know I said SN is about stacking friends and not stacking sats, but I do expect a thunderstorm of zaps if I put a lot of effort into a post, so I don't want to set myself up for disappointment. And lastly, because I guess it doesnt count for nothing, is my personal joy just in making a post regardless of zaps (high/med/low)

The sweet spot is clearly ALL OR NOTHING! If I write a post with HIGH EFFORT expecting HIGH GREED and I had HIGH JOY writing it I get the most sats. [HHH] #712929

Also, my instincts are not off on greed expectations, but not worth low joy. [HHL] #729935

In a sense, parents corner is the "bang for buck" (medium effort to recount story, but high joy) [MMH] #739913 [MHH] #736132

Low effort posts never do well. Only do if bring joy :) [LLH] #741583

So expect next month: Less posts, but higher quality Parent's Corner if inspiration strikes Podcasts if inspiration strikes Sports posts if inspiration strikes No more [AITA] but I enjoyed trying :)

What do you want to see from me? Will you do your own analysis?
