RE: Proposal to make spam less profitable
Believe it or not, but I do understand what it is like to be a new user. When I first joined, I made 0.00 on all my posts - just like pretty much everyone else that is new. It took me 3-4 months of pretty consistent effort to start making any significant rewards. For me at least, it was never a 0.05 payout (or even a bunch of them) that kept me going though. It was always the idea that if I kept at it, I could eventually make a lot someday. I do get what you are saying though, and a lot of people are saying the same thing. So it probably will be best to not make the change.
I believe that you remember as nobody was here that long to forget...or at least I hope they didn't. But being a new member has gotten harder and harder over time as so many of the whales and dolphins are now using much of their voting power for bidbots which are an automatic looser for newbies. The reward pool is decimated with trash making the trending page sucking up massive amounts of the pool each day.
If we want to worry about spam how about not focusing on the pennies and looking at the thousands being earned by the professional spammers.
Good point. Agreed.
