It's not uncommon that I find valuable content here, directing me to other platforms (often Twitter). While I like the idea of tipping who found this valuable link, I would like to support the original author somehow.
Here's my feature proposal:
- Anyone can post any link here, stacking sats as usual
- The original author finds this platform or is invited to SN by the person who linked them
- The original author adds a comment to their original documents, such as a reply on the very same Twitter thread, or a comment in the blog post, with a direct linking to the link discussion here
- Stacker News cross-matches the original content author account with the SN account
- Boom, the original content author is tipped and can stack sats here on SN
Maybe we can fix what Brave tried a while ago?
