The boss wolf! What steem program gives it interface on voters info like this plssss?
SteemPlus
All of these were made 2 years ago with different configurations. I imagine the responsible for these rewards is the "exponential reward curve" ?

Now it would be interesting how this compares to current very high valued posts regarding the rshares
Crikey, its no wonder newbies expectations are so skewed and depression soon sets in Thats a quarter million dollars for posts whose sum total content might be worth 250 bucks each. Maybe. Some of them. What a mess. Its more like a lottery then even I imagined.
No sir, these posts were made in 2016. It was a different world back then. We rarely see over 1000 dollar posts today, and steem is 20x more valuable.
Damn I should of used the half naked girl angle when I started!
How do you think Jerry made it?
Bahahaha omg, I freaking died. Best comment today.
I don't want to think about what angles that man has achieved with himself.
lol
We are who we are. :)
I've been wondering if these posts could be topped in the future if the Steem price rises. Maybe someone has a theory on that . :)
ROFLMAO!! @gray00. Not even in your wildest dreams will you ever see that again in the history of the internet. };)
Is that because you think Steem prices will never go up or for a different reason?
Actually BOTH! :)
I wonder... May be I should add some make up to my every day news reviews. What do you think?😂
I have some thoughts about it. You should add two big and beautiful... topics, those we can look regularly. ☺
You can also choose to go from the rear entrance. 🙂
Best old days? Glad to see some of these top authors are still around, but the other few....
Me too. The beginning of steem in 2016 wows me on payout
I'm glad to see that at least some of these accounts are still active. As for the inactive ones, I wonder if they have forgotten all about Steemit, or if they just live happily, knowing that they have a small backup fortune here.
WOW it is amazing, how much money can be earn by posting a single post. I'm really surprise, much more than expected. Congratutation to the ones who got it. I like to see the first ones are very good projects with hard work behind, it is nice to see.
Well you know this is a good angle for a post. I am still stunned that the UBG is such a factor on a crypto site, but prostitution is the oldest profession in the world. DAMN 30 % to the UBG! Now we have even more of that.
Make top ten paid out comments 😎

lol, nice edit
Was just doing a catchy hook meme like Facebook, but then figured it wasn't really needed.
The good old days.... Steemit posts dont pay like that anymore. What happened? Mystery of the times... Shouldnt steemit be like the cellar wine, that gets sweeter as it ages?
They paid so much because they wanted a lot of attention. Now they have some, payments get lower
Wow! I didn't know there were such high pay outs! People back home need to work years for this kind of money!
I saw ned votes on that #6 manthostsakirid (64)
Steem must be really sweet at inception.
Ohh it's really Amazing post. I checked all these accounts posts. And I never seen such Posts which are earning more than $2000. But above posts crossed even $10K marks.
Really unbelievable information here in the post..

This is the reason steem platform is the cruelest platform for its users. My posts don't get more than $1. I don't think history will repeat itself.
am really astounded at this statistics, JEEZ! where was i?
i feel like crying my ass out. no offence tho
Just a handful of these people are still around. Fewer still have actually invested into the chain, but many have left since then!
Kind of like the witnesses
Speaking of such did you manage my request okay?
More to the point. Look at the value of reward on some of the comments!!!
Yeah, I saw some seriously crazy comments on them. It was a different age back then when you would actually get support from others.
YEs, despite the amounts, there was proper engagement. I see that some of them on that list now just use what they made back then as an investment to provide residual income now and at least one other just took the cash and ran!
Is there some sort of salacious gossip regarding the make-up girl ?
Look at her wallet transfers and you can see, I believe it's pfunk, begging her to come back, rofl. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't that the same chick, or was it someone else, well two women took a bunch of money for some nonsense vaporware company and ran with that too.
Erm no. I think it was @demotruk the one you are referring to @charitybot. }:)
Received 0.001 STEEM from pfunk
I notice you're still cashing out of this account. If you repair your reputation here by making things right, there is more potential. Please own your actions and make things right with the community. Thank you.
Uhm yeah @charitybot. You are right. Then, they were two the beggars. demotruk & pfunk. One openly from the comments section and the other more stealthy from the wallet's DM to confess their early crush. Hahahaha
I think it's amazing how steem has managed to change so many lives. Some of these posts prove it. I remember seeing the dollar vigalantes back then. Also nice pic with the cat and unicorn. Lol

wow, very nice article.
right
Nice post.
Writing great posts on steemit that give high payouts need extreme creativity.
Thumbs up to those guys.
¿extreme creativity?
You just need stand up in the right place at the right time so that a solitary dove on the fly just shits right on your head. };)
looking at all these figures, my steemit experience seems almost insignificant. if i ever earned $5 I would scream for joy, imagine what I would do if I earned anything close to those figures, probably I would excite myself into an unconscious state for months.
Almost 47k for just 1 blog post.
That is INSANE.
Set for like 3 years, just from 1 post
Wow good for them, i guess for some hard work pays off! Good to see it does work
Bit of a bummer not being here early. Well I'm here and thats all that matters. To say that people made these amounts here is more than amazing. The thing is, will we see earnings like these again? Dunno but that's what makes it fun.
It could be you, me or any bloke here.
This is one of the most important reasons Steemit is spoiled now. Resulting in that it most likely won't last forever and fixing the possibility for a competitor to do it much better.
Damn, if only I had a massive youtube following and STEEM was back at $6
All of the top 3 posters have cashed out , almost no STEEM in their accounts.
Goddammit, why wasn't I here 2 years ago?
Hmmm.. Posts from the crazy early days I'm guessing. We heard, but we thought it was a myth
We overvalue many peoples posts. Im not salty though. I always knew that certain people will gaina following and will keep on gaining profit from theor following along with new exposure. Thats the way the world always works.
Hitting the nerve, getting the feeling, everyone hopes for some steemdollars. So I do my best in the field I work on waiting for the nerve to feel me once.
This is absolutely nuts! Myself and I'm sure others that have been here for a year or less really appreciate seeing this.
