Nice summary of this strategy, thanks for that. It's not as easy as it always sounds, though, and users have to actually gain something along the way. So yeah, belonging is something worthwhile - I've long believed that for most people, the monetary value of the rewards can't make that much of a difference (after all, what good does it do to you if I upvote you for 0.002$) but the feeling that somebody appreciates your content to grant you that reward is what matters. Even if people aren't paying that from their own pockets, their stake still gets diluted through inflation and so they're actually giving away something.

The community here has mostly been showing a very nice and generous attitude (with the few obvious greedy exceptions), and this is what really matters.
