It doesn't matter what country really (I'm from South America), the problem is the condescending attitude of so many people here that think they are all that for making a post on the internet. They start giving life lessons, lessons in perserverance...right in their second one, even if I would admit this was enjoyable ;). People that come from privilege love to do this, they think they had it hard because they travel somewhere exotic and lived with the "natives". They had all the resources and connections yet they think they earned everything they have. Well they sure didn't developed humility and character, only real struggles forges that. I myself "earned" a lot compared to others and never in my life I would think of starting giving lessons to others. I don't have a guilty conscience.
Anyway, I've seen Youtube posts here earn 5-7k and the video itself had 120 views, you draw your own conclusions. I don't think people here understand how hard it is for poor people seeing nonsense getting 20-30k. There's nothing groundbreaking, there's not a single post in the whole site that deserve that kind of money, it's vulgar and repulsive if you ask me. And what's more vulgar and repulsive is that it's totally fine and ok for many people.
The total lack of respect and support to other cultures and languages is also astonishing too, maybe they don't bring enough money to power up so they don't matter. Perhaps they matter to split the payout on a post, look at the picture I took with the natives! I'll give them half!
No spanish, chinese, portuguese, etc whatsoever. You won't see any "whale" voting anything in that language anytime soon either, that's how this works.
I am observing in semi silence. I value your!! honest opinion and do not feel you are one of the mindless haters . I choose not to say more than this .
You are wiser than me that's for sure.
"There's nothing groundbreaking, there's not a single post in the whole site that deserve that kind of money, it's vulgar and repulsive if you ask me."
I'm curious how you became the arbiter of what posts deserve. Why should anyone ask you?
Read my posts again.
Because it's irrational and ridiculous. Plus you are right, I don't have a vote, rich people have the vote, actually mega rich people, there's a handful of them (but they manage multiple accounts).
I got paid more in a post than I would make for creating the real job I was proposing. I already debated the corrupted system behind it that made it possible.
Yes sure, I will cash my money, like I said, 500 dollars for me is 50k for you and I didn't do anything unethical. But you won't be hearing me cheering or clapping 500, 1, 10 and 20k posts about nothing anytime soon because I know the value of real work and that's not it. This platform may make it valid in your eyes but it's not sustainable and it's a gimmick.
Like I said in a previous post, a Youtube video post earned 3-5k and hundreds of votes (several of them actually) with 100-120 real views/visits on Youtube each...that's all the proof you need of how much something is worth. That's the definition of hollow. Look it up.
