Agree.
Fortunately I'm still being able to gather more viewers than upvoters (2-3x more, but IMHO it should be like 10-100x more).
Gathering payout is a 7-day thing, while such post is going to be here forever.
Lets better make it worth resources it takes.
Not $$$-worth, really worth.
Focusing on a content and treating payouts just as a side effect of things we create is the most healthy approach here.
There are still very limited ways of finding content that I would like to see, so in many cases this is a matter of luck - you either post it or miss it. I'm hoping that things would improve significantly with upcoming Communities.
Yes indeed, well as a techie and as a witness your in a good position to help further along these goals.
As you know there are a lot of user interfaces upgrades that need to take place in order for this platform to be mass adopted. Its just to difficult and limited to use.
I started this project to try and get people to actually read articles I felt had important info in them though its only a minuscule amount of help that we really actually need.
Grateful for all you do. Let me know if or how I may help you make i improvements.
