Maybe it's just a temporary thing ? How could this be changed ? Who has the levers to change it ?
There is a lot of potential, it would be a pity to just abandon the ship. My opinion.
But anyway few bux are good, few bux make the difference. There are all these people from Venezuela and Aceh who might not be producing great content (at least not all of them) and mostly bugger for upvotes in order to scrape a few bux together but here's a platform where we can interact with them and maybe inspire them a little bit ? Even, excuse the arrogance, teach them a thing or two ? I don't know of any other place where I can influence (positively, I want to believe) someone living in Aceh, Indonesia. Certainly not on Facebook
