I played around a bit with fees. Went from very cheap to above 100 sats. I found the current fee to give the right balance between too much spam and no posting activity at all. I base that also on my personal experience posting in other territories where I will often look to post in an alternative territory when the most fitting territory charges more than 200-300 sats.

I also try to look as much as possible at the topic, rather than at the name of who posted, as the reason I made this territory is to aggregate articles from known science publications so that I can find the topics that interest me here rather than a variety of other websites. SN is more and more becoming my go-to place to read stuff that interests me, be it in science or other topics.

Now that ~science activity is at a decent level, I have also modified a while ago by own tipping habits (#776324). I used to automatically tip back the posting fee when a new post was not obviously spam or low-content stuff, but now I only tip the things that truly interest me.

Ohh … I didn’t know that they ran in packs. I noticed that there are a few that don’t seem to answer any comments or put zaps on anyone in their thread. I have thought that some of the nyms are connected somehow, but can’t quite place who is whom.
