Sometimes I want people to get $$$ for their contributions.
When someone posts a long, exceptional sequence? I don't get that feeling.
When folks working on the site itself roll out a sweet new feature? I don't get that feeling.
But when https://www.lesswrong.com/users/lsusr creates a fun and relevant competition requiring them to code up quite a bit of framework/bots and coordinate people? (https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/AHTRyQJtiRin22kth/the-darwin-game-1) I wonder if there's a pool to reward over-and-beyond contributors, and if there is, how much I'd be willing to contribute to it.
Does something analogous exist? "Should" it? If so, what should be "eligible"?
Thank you for the kind offer. In my head, the 2021 Darwin Game (in particular) was a gift to the community. If I do something in the future which requires even more work I'll set up a Venmo link or something.
