@dana-edwards No one can speak from a place of authority on the subject. But I was in the as you call them "Economic Justice Warriors" camp until a UI bug caused large swaths of information to go missing from the website such as payment info.

Personal experience, seeing the big payouts before you get here is an attractor, but sets unrealistic expectations.

The people who get the big payouts rarely ever provide any value later on. The few who do get mega jackpot winings and then later can't scrape two cents together also get disillusioned quickly and forget that even 0.01 from this platform is more than they would be making at reddit or facebook.

As for me it spun my perspectives around. Without the payout information I just voted what I liked and ended up with MORE that day than I ever got trying to find whale bait.

If I were to design a UI for this I would leave some historical top10 highest payees list. But postings in general should not ever show the $ amount earned since it's no one's business but their own.

Incidently, upvoting and responding to anything with @dana-edwards or @stella-belle early is the fastest and most consistent way to turn a few hundred bucks a day for me.

Anyways, have you tried to dump the blockchain into neo4j to see what information can be extracted via higher dimensional analysis?
