How do we get more legit writers to ply their trade at Stacker News?
What's the value proposition to you and is it likely attractive to other writers?
What would make SN more attractive to authors?
reply
Not sure for other writers but for me its the combination of
- lower barrier to entry (plenty of things I have in notes and that don't cut it for profesh articles are suitable for SN
- No editors or production process, just me
- and plenty of sats for the effort (hashtag assmilking)

I was thinking about this, recently, because I found a little notebook from grad school that I jotted down half-baked research ideas in.
I'm going to start making some ~econ posts based on those, since they're interesting questions to me and I have not other outlet to explore them.

Good good! Looking forward to them

If you "attract" them into stupid bets nobody will want to post anymore.

This theory seems flawed. I see people who participate in the contests and pools we run posting on SN about other things all the time so it seems unlikely new users who stick around would just come to bet and if they do they do. People use platforms for what they like and want.
I respect your opinion that sports is a waste of time and betting is a waste of sats but people like it, so if it can help get more people into Bitcoin or on SN what is wrong with that? Should they be spending more time thinking about their freedom and the bitcoin circular economy sure but I believe in incremental progress rather than bashing people over the head until they comply or run away.
