The first payout happened a month ago come tomorrow. The platform is still really young and it's evolving. I think posts may have slowed down because a lot of people were deterred by the bots and just spam flooding of copypasta in the stream. Even if there is a lot of the same thing over and over, it feels more real. Now we just need some more users to power up so they can actually help others get paid when they do submit something good.
