It is probably not shit posting for that person. However, how much do you think the account will take and how often? Perhaps that should factor in too.
There is always going to be random posts and accounts getting support for sometime, but overall, it should be relatively decent content that gets the greatest stake behind it and, to really attract people, there has to be some decent mainstream accounts that get considerable support relatively often.
All I am saying is if you want people to post better content quit giving post like that one $20, give it $1 or less, people not making much and or new users see those type post making $20 and start posting that type of content.
I mean I see excellent photography post only making a few dollars and trash like that gets $20
There is a lot of great content that goes unrewarded as individual posts, but in my experience, those who consistently provide great content eventually get found and supported.
Or maybe the whales and curation trails need to spend more time looking into what is good content and what is shit. I mean anyone that is not blind can see that that post was not worth $20 just like this shit here is not worth almost $50

I think the "post by post" method of valuation will never work, it will depend on track record and consistency, the way it does with everything. You probably buy brands you trust in clothes, watch movies with actors you already like - track record. The random votes for random accounts are essentially rolling the dice in the hope that they can do it again or will add some value. The "worth" of any single post is not a very good measure of anything really and what that person does with their reward is up to them, but that is also going to affect others.
Well I have produced great photos for years and rarely get more then $4.
Except for me, I was attacked for self voting because I believe that my photography is some of the best photography on here and there are shit post getting more then my professional photos. I have never said a word about it until I was attacked by a few people for self voting.
This is true but if I buy a product from that brand and it is shit I take it back.
Anyway you guys continue doing what your doing , cause it has worked so well.
There are lots of great photos on Hive.
You aren't the first to be downvoted for selfvoting, won't be the last. AS for photography, I am not sure what classifies as professional quality these days as it seems that everyone claims to be a professional.
Who are "you guys" ?
Not really, especially in the macro tag
I agree everyone with a smartphone thinks they are photographers, But you should be able to tell if it is professional quality. I know there are some great photographers on here, but not very many compared to how many people claim to be photographers posting in photography.
Some of the whales and curation trails.
Anyway thanks for chatting with me. Have a good day.
