Exactly! I've been saying for a while that the trending page shouldn't be the landing page. I think a lot of new users will do exactly what you said: show up, see the trending page, see dollar signs, write something, not make the same amount of money, get disappointed and start trash-talking the platform.

I admit, I ended up here (in the beginning of June) because of the possibility of making money, but I'm not here because of that any more. I'm now here because I fell in love with the vision of a crypto-backed platform where people can share and discuss ideas and art. Getting paid for some of that is just an awesome extra.
