I actually agree with that comment. Almost nobody here earns as much as edicted while the posts are better categorized as entertainment than some sort of wellspring of solid knowledge. They are good entertainment to be sure but so are the posts of many other authors.
I was commenting on the claim that edicted is a crypto expert who should be paid well just because of that. I wouldn't pay for any investment advice he gives, although he does have some interesting insights sometimes. I like his posts because they're funny and structured well enough for me to have the patience to read from start to finish.
The sort of crypto expertise when it comes to investment advice that I would consider paying for is such that it is based on research that is fresh enough to be actionable and whose author has a proven track record.
The distribution of rewards on Hive is a zero-sum game. Each day the blockchain prints a certain number of coins as author rewards. Each stakeholder has the right to remove rewards from any post he/she from a subjective point of view considers over-rewarded relative to other active posts, which is what over-rewarded cannot but mean as the distribution is a zero-sum game.
The chain owes exactly nothing in terms of author rewards to anybody. I think there are not many authors here who've been around the block who have never been downvoted. If someone is very popular, it is unlikely that their posts will be DV'd to anywhere near zero. Just look at the pending rewards of this post, for example.

Well guess what, entertainment is expensive too.
Also, entertainment for you is knowledge for others.

This has been a fun discussion and all, but I'm going back to threading.

Dang. I'm not sure if you're calling me names or giving me a compliment but I love myself so much that I'll take it as the latter.
