Because there is a lot of talent on reddit but due to bad incentives, r/bitcoin has become a bit of a cespool.
r/bitcoinBeginners is still a great space to newer users to ask questions and get quality answers and they new have 1.1 million members in that sub. Users like BitUsher with over 100k comment karma (https://www.reddit.com/user/bitusher/) does a LOT of work to field questions all day but doesn't stack any sats from his responses.
This is a substantial opportunity for SN and @siggy47. We just need to find a way to create a sort of talent vacuum that draws all of the best posters, commenters, and zappers over here.

He absolutely could but we would need like 100k people over here asking all the low level Qs.

There's 1.1 million members in r/BitcoinBeginners and 7+ million in r/bitcoin
Might be worth looking into advertising your territory on r/BitcoinBeginners

Is the problem the same as with the third world inhabitants migrating to the first world? Don’t they tend to chang the first world countries into the third world?
So, why bring a cesspool into SN?
reply
The problem with bringing the third world into the west is the fucked up incentives where they get free shit for doing nothing at the expense of the nationals who bear the tax burden. If they all had to pay to consume welfare resources, they wouldn’t come.
Stacker News is possibly one of the best free-market incentives I’ve ever discovered.
Pay to post keeps the spammers, trolls, and scammers to an absolute minimum.

I love it!!! I, also, think that ending all of the free sh*t for everybody is a spectacular Idea! That means no more civilian parasites, but still leaves the state as the big bloodsucker. If we could cut them off without getting shot in the back of the head, that would be great, too.
