That was a pretty good payout on that post back in the day. Its funny to see people who were commenting from back then and see who is still around. The guys who stuck around are whales now for the most part. LOL

Yeah I got a couple big payouts like that back in the day but the curation rewards were 50% at one point instead of 25% so that took away a lot of the payout and gave it to the people upvoting. Also the price was dropping like a knife and the power down was like 13 months long instead of 3 months. So a person couldn't really power down fast enough to retain any value because the founders and original investors were just dumping it month after month with no explanation. That is why the price went from $4 to $0.07.
For the most part the guys who were whales then are whales now. Not a lot changed in that category. There were a handful of guys who kept bringing in outside money and got to whale status and there there were 5 to 10 content creators who were able to somewhat create a fulltime income situation out of the platform but no one who was a content creator ended up with millions. Which makes sense in a lot of ways from the way the platform is organized.
It is interesting how the dynamic has somewhat changed overtime and the different eras the platform has been through.
