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.

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

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.

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?

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.

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.
