I've been on here a year and still don't understand it all. Had a few bots do some auto-curating which is good cos it's really hard to read everyone's posts so having a bot give fellow Aussies with known good content an upvote is always handy.
The biggest advice I can give is don't do it for the money. I've put up lots and lots of content and if I put it as a dollar-per-hour figure I'd be working for like 10cents/hr. The 'Trending posts' always show the same old people get $200+ posts and I doubt most of us will ever get that, so you've really gotta be here for the love of it or it's just not worth the time and effort. I just did a review on Assassin's Creed Origins which will be lucky to make $10 yet I spent over 2 hrs doing it. Every moment was fun though so it's still a win :)
