Naturally, the most obvious platforms that we could attract talent from are Reddit and BitcoinTalk because these platforms do basically the same thing but they don't have a good incentive model. You can't post images directly in reddit comments and the reply system on BitcoinTalk is so dated and difficult to follow.
Tbh, you don't want to bring in users from Reddit and Bitcointalk on here. Reddit is ENTIRELY filled with people discussing the price, there is nothing of interest posted there whatsoever.
Bitcointalk's earning model revolves around users selling their signature/avatar space for advertisements, and only veteran members are able to display signatures and avatars. This has driven the quality of posting down massively since users will repeat the same reply as each other in every topic while making sure to expand their posts to exactly 151 characters so they reach the quota required for them get paid.
I don't think that SN's incentive model is the only reason that the content here is of higher quality, there's also the underlying moderation team and algorithm that curates the content.

I think r/BitcoinBeginners is still a great place for new users to learn but we need more beginners on here asking questions and more people like you on here to answer questions about things like Wasabi CoinJoin

Yeah, I am only 7 merit away from being able to post images in my signature. Any chance you have any merit you'd be willing to part with? Maybe for a zap?

Yes, there's a lot that makes this place the best but I feel like we need a constant stream of new users who actually want to learn and don't want all the heavy-handed moderation and censorship. It seems like it's always the same 30 people posting and commenting on each other's posts.
