I too am hopeful- the basic idea is brilliant. Pay2Post Peer2peer V4V All good! But the narrative on SNs seems to me far too captured by a narrow echo chamber. The potential is there - but when you cannot talk about The Greater Israel Project, without being downzapped into obscurity by anons, is it really a sovereign individual, free market, free speech platform?
The bottom line is that Stacker News Inc lacks sufficient incentive to grow the market for territory owners. They charge the same rent each month regardless of the static number paying of content consumers.
Where is the incentive for SNs if the monthly charge remains fixed?
There is only incentive for SN Inc if the monthly fee is based on the volume of content consumers engaging with and paying for content on the platform.
Until then it is a rentseeking and inherently dysfunctional marketplace...and territory owners are paying the price.
