That history explains a lot, including where the price is now. If the people who earned most cashed out on the way, that's not something a newcomer would work out on their own.
One thing I'd like your view on. I publish one long investigation a week and they take real time, so I can't go much faster without the work getting worse. Given the 7 day window, is publishing more often where the difference gets made, or is that not really the point?
And thanks for the heads up on downvotes. I write about things that annoy people, so I imagine I'll meet a few. I'll ask instead of panicking.
Each post gets a 7 day payout window, during this window folks vote up and down, at the end of the 168 hours, the chain makes the calculations and sends your payout.
You will probably want to ask in the spanish speaking communities for more specific advice, I'm not the best at getting rewards.
You might look at splitting up one long post into two or three smaller ones.
Nobody will complain about one post a day, but you start doing more and folks will notice.
That's fair, and I appreciate you saying it instead of guessing. I'll take the splitting idea seriously. My posts run long, and three pieces that each stand on their own beat one that nobody finishes. One a day sounds manageable.
I'll go and ask in the Spanish communities. I've been posting under a plain tag rather than inside a community at all, which probably explains a fair bit.
