Those makeup tutorials aren't my cup of tea but I think it's wise to mention the fact there is a market for that kind of thing, and I'm sure the most popular act on Youtube who specializes in that sort of thing is a millionaire because of it.
Hehe. I think we should look at the couple k USD make tutorial in the context of what was going on at the time. 😁

I missed those crazy early days by only a couple of months, but I know all about it, including that of which you speak of. So far, I'd say the most reasonable period of time to be a content producer here would have been the couple of months before the vote selling started. The token woke up, as some say, people were flocking to the place, content discovery was decent, organic trending posts were a thing, still a few flaws, wasn't perfect but I can say this community was a lot happier than it is today... then it went downhill basically the moment SP delegations and vote buying came into play. Oh well... live, and hopefully learn.
Exactly that was my impression, as well.
Thousands of people delegated to one entity. That entity combined the power, converted thousands of potential free votes into one paid vote. Then those same thousands of people sat around wondering why thousands of people were not voting for their work.
This place needs it's own variation of the Darwin Award.
