Hey thanks for this article! It's interesting and informative.
I agree sort of that it's unsustainable. The megajackpot payouts will probably go away. The TitsNTravel stuff will play out soon and once the redistribution and smoothing is in effect, most folks will probably see a dollar or two a day from 8 to 10 hours a day of working on this.

However! That's still a hell of a lot more than they are making on Facebook and Twitter. Also the cryptocurrency itself is gaining massive adoption and as an ecosystem grows up around it, this will spur mass adoption and growth. We've already got a lot of ideas on "features" that we can do which are not strictly social media. I mean imagine telling an author that they can get paid for LIFE each time someone reads their book!

Anyways thanks for dropping by my thread...
