I think the people earning the most rewards generally share this view.
The people obsessed with how to earn more rewards are probably frustrated that whatever it is they're trying isn't yielding the results they wanted.
I used to be one of those high-earners and I for sure endorse the view. Post well, comment well, zap well. Be generally decent. Rewards have followed consistently over the years.

The bickering about rewards is so pervasive that it's actually prompted a philosophical re-orientation a bit. We've seen, repeatedly (and you have repeatedly demonstrated in posts) that effortful content and generosity pays off. And we've seen, pervasively, people grumbling about it who generally aren't living into that simple lesson.
Sometimes untangling cause and effect is pretty complicated, but this doesn't seem like one of those times.

Well, my biggest fear for SN is that as the platform gets more popular and as Bitcoin gets more valuable, is that it will attract more and more mercenary users who are here to make a sat, and not to engage with meaningful content.

I've often argued that the rewards being obtuse is a virtue, because the heuristic of "Earn rewards for doing pro-social stuff" is what we want people to adopt.

Very true from my experience as a teacher. Make the rules too clear and you get exploitative behavior. Inject a little uncertainty, and people try to behave generally good.

Not always, but yes, it's true.

that's a good take econ sheriff keep calling people who have different value systems to you, "dumb dickheads" though, that will take you far maybe you can also look into how your virtual friends behave on this platform and what it says about your character to be associating with them, lol
You can have different values from me, courageously anonymous guy who deletes his comments. The people I'm calling "dumb dickheads" are those who immediately assume the worst intentions in others and relentlessly besmirch their character. Get a life you dumb dickhead.

Good advice, but that's a regular stacker who's afraid to put his name on those comments.

Not a shitcoiner. There are a bunch of sycophants of Darth here, who have a vendetta against certain stackers who they think are grifters. I haven't found their "evidence" compelling and I continue interacting with their targets.
