If we're reflecting top 0.2% spenders upon the whole (could make sense because that's close to 65% of the volume) then you're right.

Not zapping nsfw stuff is a norm then

Hmm not really, I think?

Thought about it some more. The only one I can come up with that is mostly upheld is: "no shitcoining".

Ah! Perhaps the market is our norm?

This doesn't sound like a very meaningful statement, though. 

I wonder about market demand, though. Fan fiction (or even normal fiction) is an interesting case. We have times when we get little bursts but mostly itnos reserved to "approved" times (ie competitions). I'm surprised we don't see more fiction in between times.

Supply adjusting to demand, I think? More of a market force than a norm. There is no reason for this to not come back if there is demand.

That only goes for a subset of stackers, there are 3 types:

The first group isn't half of the set of active stackers, but it is most of the top active stackers, which could make it feel normative, but it is really just us suckers that try to resist the greed.

What are the norms of Stacker News?

> zapping a reply

That only goes for a subset of stackers, there are 3 types:

1. Stackers that always zap comments
2. Stackers that only zap if you zapped them first
3. Stackers that never zap comments

The first group isn't half of the set of active stackers, but it is most of the top active stackers, which could make it feel normative, but it is really just us suckers that try to resist the greed.
