Cool. More or less on the same page then. Personally, I think:

(1) SN has a great community;
(2) Long form, thoughtful posts should be encouraged (I care less about toxicity, echo chambers, etc.). As mentioned in other posts, I would further further divide that into (a) well organized threads including blogs with follow-up's, and (b) first hand experience type tutorials on everything Bitcoin.

Re: your point on upvote and tips - not sure how posts get pushed to "TOP", but another feature to upvote should be reasonably simple to implement and for the community to understand. 

I enjoyed Reddit and HN, and hope SN will move slowly to find its niche - wherever we end up landing.

In fact my proposal aims to move attention, and funds, toward original contents.

A resource can be shared even with a post including a personal comment, so it automatically becomes a not so low effort post.

Perhaps there should be a difference between upvote and tips.

Opinion: shared links should not earn sats (SNIP 2)
