I'm a bit bummed myself, invested the time into writing a really long and cool intro and that was below $100, and posted something interesting yesterday as well, that didn't even make it to $1 ... for now I'll keep writing, but it's looking incredibly unlikely that any sort of meaningful side income can be made here, unless you're top 5% or something.
I guess time will tell..
Sounds like you're doing pretty well so far, I've only made like 23 cents off my skeptical replies :) It's crazy to me that Intro posts are even making as much as they do, I mean how much value would you place on someone making an intro about themselves? I honestly don't see how these post valuations can be sustained and pretty sure it won't be long until mosts posts are earning zero and the good stuff only gets a few cents... unless of course the two dev overlords who control a majority of the coins like your content... not really sure how this is supposed to be decentralized system.
