Ask any questions about loans you have here as well!
not a fan of it for a few reasons:
i dont want another daily button to press when there are already multiple streaks to keep track of
i want to keep getting loans even if i miss clicking. since manifold's userbase is long-term by nature , i think they should be able to step away for a week without feeling penalized even more beyond streak bonuses.
it is adding overwhelming information for new users in a prominent location, that they do not need right off the bat
takes up prime header real estate space with a button that does nothing 99% the time
maybe make the loan system a profile settings toggle (eg 'accept daily system loans' ) that people can turn on/off . by turning it on, they opt into the old 'automatic' system of loans. And by leaving it off, they can ignore all the confusion of loans and never have to learn about them.
maybe also - indicate what amount of your balance is 'loaned' in the profile graph if that info is easily available.
i also still feel like there has to be a better term than 'loan' , it confused me for a while, especially when users are colloquially usually using 'loan' to talk about the traditional p2p lending they do with each other
Like my comment here if you didn't know about loans, or had forgotten about them until now.
