Whoah! That’s a lot of data! I suspect the rise of sub-50 word posts and their pay has to do with the growing popularity of InLeo threads, since they are very Twitter-like, and also the rising price of the LEO token. No?
And congrats on crushing it in the "Most Pay" section!
The threads stuff is "comments" - I looked at "posts" in the data set, for the most part - but... there's a lot of spam and a lot... more spam - and my methodology is probably not 100% perfect.
But yeah, the TLDR is longer posts don't get rewarded as equally as shorter posts, even if we don't consider threads, snaps, waves et al.
Oh, ok, interesting... Then I’m back to my original theory: OG accounts have curation trails longer than the Silk Road leading to them. Hence posts like "This is what I had for breakfast today, here’s a pic" end up getting ungodly amounts of upvotes. Any thoughts? Because I got nothing after that :D
Yeah, seems to be the likely cause. :)
