I can't speak for anyone else, nor do I want to...

But sending and receiving sats is what makes Stacker News (and Bitcoin) great. Every 'article' I've written I've fully expected some people to agree with... and others to disagree with and that's what makes Bitcoin great. But I've never written an article to 'earn sats' give me a break. Instead I write because SN is a great forum and a homebase for Bitcoin 'out in the wild' at least as closely as it can approximate.

It's a "third place" for Bitcoiners... when they're not at work (where noone knows about Bitcoin) or at home (when I introduced Bitcoin to family and they were like ???). SN is a place to 'hang out' and that's all. I've learned a lot being here, while also disagreeing with some of the takes here but that's natural.
