I've really enjoyed these two months running ~econ. It crystallized that what I most enjoy is reading and commenting. Thankfully, our excellent contributors are giving me ample opportunities.
# Metrics
- Posts: 5th place - 264
- Comments: 6th place - 1653
- Stacking: 3rd place - 149.6k
- Revenue: 6th place - 59.4k
We're still over the breakeven point, but revenue was down from last month (still above the month before I took over, though). That means the new posting fee will be 81 sats, which is halfway back to the previous 108.
# Contest Ideas
Last month, I asked what people thought the best use of previously donated sats was and funding a contest seemed to get the best response.
I'd like to try out a quarterly contest. The prize pool will be whatever sats have been earned, above the breakeven point, until the donated sats have all been paid out.
I'm not sure if this will be a winner-takes-all thing or a top 3. I also don't want to completely defer to zaprank, so what I'll do is list the top 10 posts by zaprank and have people vote on the best post.
Let me know what you think (including if this is an acceptable use of your donations, for those who made donations).
