RE: You won't believe how much Hive/HBD @buildawhale burned in March?
Four years ago I would have been against this practice, thinking it would be wiser if the upvotes and rewards were spread out in order to grow, strengthen, and decentralize "the community."
It makes no sense a post with 40 views and probably not a single person has read it making $100-200. 99% of people in social media never make $1, and he were are doing it with posts with almost no views or engagement.
We are a tiny community spending like we are on the first page of coinmarketcap.

I know. It's ridiculous. The folks earning the most for the longest time haven't done anything to create interest in their work either.
However, I saw Dalz's most recent "top earners" post today. Some new names on that list involved with Vibes. Those folks are getting thousands of views and a lot more exposure.
Still low views locally of course, but that's what 8 years of focusing only on creating and rewarding content does. Vibes has a goal of bringing in an audience as well. Won't be easy but at least they're trying.
Rewarding the arts and live entertainment makes a lot more sense as well. Has comparable value in the real world. I'll be disappointed if they too fail at bringing in eyes and ears.
What actually causes those posts to be voted so high?

If I was to judge it without comparison to others, it's definitely overpaying. My last whole bunch of posts are over-rewarded in and of themselves, so I tend to avoid posting again for at least a week to balance it out XD
But I think a lot of the real world influencer types get way more disproportionate wealth than here. Like tens of thousands of dollars for posting a photo of them holding a sock. Engagement can be really low too like, a few hundred comments. It's the derangement of ad revenue clinging on to whatever they believe is worth the best returns, then manipulating the algorithm to assure that happens in their favour.
At least everyone here gets a shot at the occasional disproportionate rewards.
A quick curation earning for you and your whale buddies (curation rewards aren't being burnt) 😉 Mathematically, it doesn't do 💩, for neither the HIVE nor the HBD token. People, stop getting scammed by DH Marky and his whale buddies, stop investing time and money in this toxic downvote shithole! Even the bull run can't save the token from ever reaching 40 cents again. Come to BLURT! I moved to Blurt a few years ago and it was the best decision ever...
