Even if those numbers are wrong, and they do earn 2-3 times more than you stated, it is still not "that much"... Look at those numbers... It's not an easy job to get that many subscribers at all...
And then, you see people bitching about HIVE when they don't earn $100 per post after 2 months on the platform... C'mon... Try YouTube! 😃
I agree. And most need to go and do interesting things that cost money and stay active. Many have to then shill products like VPN services or other such things. Hive can pay quite well I think when you think about it.
