HUGE congratulations to you on this!!! 👏🚀

As I mentioned in my very first post on SN, I've been a fan of this concept from the moment I first saw it.

I immediately understood the value proposition. Create-to-earn, engage-to-earn --> let the actual value-generating stakeholders get rewarded for their time.

However, while it's awesome that people can earn by contributing content, I believe the much bigger benefit will become visible over time:

The incentive structure will enable...

Higher quality content
Deeper & more valuable discussions
No/less need for moderation
Leading to a fundamentally more sustainable platform.

TL;DR
This model is not only an inherently fairer model, but more importantly, it will create experiences that were just not possible before!

(Let me know if/how I can help out, would love to contribute!)

I love thinking about SN product improvements. You’re no different I see @elvismercury. Really appreciate your style of writing, so whatever we can do to encourage more of it would be awesome. I imagine this is a direct spin-off from your book club series, where updates are super frequent and regular at present. Cracking job on making that so interactive and broadening the experience on SN.

What I see as SN’s biggest issue myself is the fact that content is quasi-ephemeral. That might seem to be a bit unrelated but fixing it would absolutely necessitate changes to the pricing model you outline.
Very rarely does content get rediscovered, so there’s less incentive to revisit and follow-up with additions. You’re in the minority, for now at least.
I raised the idea of ‘1 week ago’, ‘1 month ago’ anniversary items to appear inside the hot feed, with my post in the saloon. To encourage more ongoing discussion & contributions.
I think you’re strictly thinking about pricing changes but would you also want to see Ui changes? In your mind do chunks always best appear in the same post?
There could also be a way to more elegantly link Part 1 and Part 2 as separate posts that are visibility linked in some way in the UI. Like a thread, or a lasso. We’re in the Wild West here, don’t forget.
Do you mind sharing with us the direct impact and costs of commenting on your own posts? Has it changed your behaviour at all?
