How do you manage your economy of thanks?

    Over the next several months I will be implementing a thanks program that I anticipate will make an exponential difference, taking the board to new and prosperous heights until we come face to face with Karen in the celestial sphere.

    Thanks economics. I think a "thank" is a measure of social credit. It would be interesting if you could only thank if you have thanks. So let's say a poster has 100 thanks and wants to thank another poster he has to pay 0.1 of their own thanks in order to do so. He thanks 10 people and so loses one of his own thanks setting his number to 99, this gives the thanks more value. And it would ensure posters would post better content in order to make up for the difference. and i would like to call this system "Fractional Reserve Thanking".

    I just press the button when I think something is funny usually. Or if I agree with them. But sometimes I’ll ironically thank something I disagree with.

    Fox Paws, I think we both know you're far too experienced in the art of thanks manipulation to have simplified it in this manner. You have a highly sophisticated system in place.

    I just thank posts that make me laugh, and once in a while I'll randomly thank something just because I agree with it

    Just like the government I spend more thanks than I take in and run a big thanks deficit.

    It's cool though, some thanks economist told me it was really smart.

    This. Mine is really disproportional because everyone hates me. I’m more strict with my follow backs on instagram than my Thanks here.

    this is unsustainable.

    your going to end up with thanks inflation.

    massive massive thanks inflation.

    I give roughly double what I receive. In other words, if my thanked count is 1,000 I try to keep the posts I've thanked 2,000. Of course it's impossible to keep this number forever exactly 1/2 but I try my best.

    I mostly just Thank shit if I feel it deserves it. Depending on my mood or state of mind, something I find witty and/or funny could be enough to get it. Otherwise, if it's a well thought out, intelligent post with a well worded argument or idea, that's usually what I'll go for. The Thank for a laugh is much more dependent on mood and such, obviously. However, if I notice my ratio slipping, I'll be more inclined to Thank shit instead of being overly conservative or discerning about whether something deserves it or not. I like it to be at least somewhere around a 2:1 received:given ratio.
