I have no quarrel with satofan but I made a meme and had to put it somewhere, so thats why I'm bumping this thread. Even if I disagree with the topic title.
I thought this was going to be another boring bump by someone who simply can't let things go after having their feelings hurt.
I love it, this is the kind of genuine, quality content that this place needs. Not pretentious pattern-like posting, defended by joining contests or sucking up to established members by joining paid pools or whatever other fucking loopholes naive western people have created for 3rd world scammers.

Posts do not have to be very long or technical, they have to be genuine that is all it takes. Whoever is posting in any kind of predictable pattern is not genuine.
Maybe the whole model is wrong. Many free forums (tech, gambling etc) have quality content without the pay per post incentives but somehow this forum needs that incentive to attract good posters and still, we attract shitposters more. And banning shitposters creates empty spots for good posters but the problem is, there isn’t a sufficient supply of good posters. Maybe that’s the problem. People don’t want to make good posts even though they get paid. There is quite an insult to this forum… The other problem is, this place lately looks more like a gambling forum than a btc forum… it used to be the opposite. Maybe we are more focused on gambling because of the sig camps, the saddening part isn’t this. It is that there isn’t much left to talk about btc.
The pay rate is low, the rules are backward and many individuals from the status quo are doing all it takes to preserve the old order. When incentives are fucked up like this, of course you are not going to attract any kind of quality posters. You are barely holding on to the last 2 members that are closely aligned to Bitcoin Core, achow and gmaxwell and only a few technical members. Clearly, some things are being done the right way -- but hey, I should not be too critical about it in public because that will upset some feelings.

Satoshi would be quite proud what was done with this place, the very core of Bitcoin is not present at all in this forum.
