how many people have we lost since cowboy credits come in?

Where’s the stats my cow boys and girls?

Noticed a few people don’t seem to be around as much or at all?

CCS haven’t bothered me at all how about you?

I absolutely don't care about CC's even in the slightest. Send them all my way.

I guess since I'm new I hadn't realized it's a new system. I like it. There's some gamification to the whole thing 🤠

Correct a cc is good for posts still get sats a plenty anyway

Looks like around 100 stackers over the last month which is ~10%. Sharpest decline since March/April after we stopped working on growth (posting on socials/reminding people we exist).

Is that more or less what you were expecting? Or had no expectations? It could have been worse considering how many posts and comments there was around it

I suspected it'd cause a loss of stackers. I'm also not sure we lost many "good ones" in the end.

We don't propagandize you all like other places tend to. You all can make up your mind for yourselves. We tend to lose the screechers and ones that don't have much of a mind of their own. (At least that's my optimistic take ... We need to start working on growth again regardless.)

When NBC moved Seinfeld to Thu after Cheers, Larry David said: if people are not watching the show on Wed night, I don't want the same people watching the show on Thu night.

Much thanks for allowing territory payments with cowboy credits

A lot of the meaningful growth came from shilling on reddit afaik.

reply

I have converted a couple from reddit as well. Some on there are on the level and obviously like a forum type vibe so getting sats for what they are doing anyway win win

Exactly. They dig the format already. X/kind1 people are a different vibe.

Harder to sell the dream to them for sure. I’ll try and do some more work on reddit see how we go

I discovered SN on Twitter or Reddit. I remember thinking, cool name for a site, must be an aggregator for bitcoin news

reply

Whatever gets the good people to come!

reply

Don't worry... SN is preparing an army of bots "stackers" that will act as users posting infinite shitGPT text and talk to each others. You will not even notice them hahahahahaha

I like Credit Coin (CC). It's a fabulous token which has a good use case, unlike most of the tokens in existence.

I like creamed corn

Personally, it feels like there are fewer "XXX's bio" posts on https://stacker.news/recent, which probably means fewer new users are joining. But hey, I bet k00b has the real stats to back this up.

Also, about CC—just my two sats: it seems to have a bigger impact on new users and not so much on the active crowd. But here’s the thing—active users are the loud minority, while new users are underrepresented.

reply

Agree possibly confusing new users?

reply

Good question!! Is there a way to find out? (Equivalent to monthly active users or something?)

reply

Be interested to see
