This is about all the work we do on here thats totally under valued all month long !!! Then if we finally get a good paying post once a month it gets taken away !! What incentive is there to keep posting anything , even good quality posts when you know a whale at any time will take away your rewards after working your ass off all month making under 1.00 dollar on most posts to begin with !! How is that possibly draining the rewards pool !?!? When theres 250.00 plus posts trending all the time ! They are the ones draining the pool ! Not me !! It was only 54.00 dollars !! You cant be serous in waht your saying !!�
you know, i came into this post expecting to largely disagree. And i do. But this is not a terrible point. I still think @smooth and others who are downvoting are doing good for the platform generally (and i think the people getting the DV's are far more often people who are frequent high earners than people like you who rarely make much money on posts.) I don't think it would be a bad idea for the people doing the downvoting (contraty to what you might have heard, they aren't taking orders from me) to look at how often the person in question has had a high payout in the past XXX days or something.
That said, a big part of the solution to the problem "all my posts make under a dollar in a given month" is either to change the reward curve (which i support) or failing that to start downvoting posts that are benefiting from highly superlinear payouts.
