I was just about writing a bug report to utopian to complain about how the payout on my post doesn't reflect the amount been claimed, about 25% reduction in my payout is not a joke at all, but now that I understand how it works, then it's cool.
Thanks for sharing this.
Have a lovely friday
Haha it would definitely cause panic to see the little number next to your blog post, but when collecting your payout after 7 days, see that it does not match at all. Glad you've cleared up this misconception!
Well, don't forget the 20% sponsor rewards that are substracted from your 75% author rewards (after curation rewards).
