Imzy is useless without tipping.
I created /lua back when tipping was enabled. Then it got disabled. Then I stopped bothering, because it's useless without tipping.
I personally noticed ppl stopped posting as often when tipping got disabled. You might not have noticed that, but I did. Tipping had a pretty clear impact on Imzy so why not bring it back?
Could the tipping UX be improved? Definitely. We should be able to make tipping history public, and an API for bots to integrate with tipping would also help. Being able to send tips through comments (adding a comment with a public tip on it) would also be interesting, and combined with an API, could be used with bots for tip-based actions.
So, imzy is useless without tipping. However, it'd be even more useful if tipping had some sort of API - even if the API was just for handling posts and getting a recent tips list.
Obviously, now that imzy is dead, this is never gonna happen. But I had hopes.
Have you ever used dogetipbot on reddit? It's a tipping bot and tipping can be done through comments. Tips can be private (through PM) or public (through comments), and public tips can carry a message. Such messages can contain commands for other bots, which may require a dogetipbot tip in order to process those commands. It's a really interesting thing.




This post is likewise both useless and ill advised.
How's this post useless? Because I can't bring imzy back from the dead, no matter how hard I try?
SoniEx2 has not made one single useful post in the history of Imzy. Some things never change.
To be fair, it was a pretty short history.
Some of us are perfectly capable of holding conversations without monetary enticement. I'm sorry that the Lua community is apparently not, although I think your assessment is incorrect. Tipping was disabled in January. The last time someone who wasn't you posted or commented on your community was in September.
I'm not talking about my community. I'm talking about Imzy in general. Posting was more popular back when tips were enabled.
Correlation is not causation.
You refuse to believe tipping was a selling point?
Of course not. Capitalism is bad and never works out in reality, doncha know?
Tipping was neat, but it wasn't a make or break feature to me.
Tipping or the lack of didn't make or break anything. It's the content that makes or breaks.
Tipping encourages content/posting. Content makes users join. More users = more tipping. More tipping = more content. Etc.
Dogetipbot is what made dogecoin popular (even if some of its success was due to the doge meme).
