With the current approach, what suffers is the ability to generate a strong, critical and consistent readership. Right now the writer has to worry about making money from each post otherwise it is a let down.
Good content must be viewed and commented upon without fear or favor . It is only then that writers can improve.
In todays world, it is impossible to ignore the money. But if you ignore good content as well, then one day there will be less of it on the platform.
My sincere hope is that we figure out a better way to rate genuine content and also distribute highly rated content in feeds
You raised a good point...thanks
