Some potential content consumers already here, at times, won't even look at an instance of actual content if it's rewarded (more than their content). "Well, they got enough, no need to look." Since so many aren't consumers, they're content creators, they create an unhealthy competition within their minds. They want their content shared, not their neighbor's. That's why the platform needs just regular consumers who don't feel they're in competition with the things they might like. Consumers will want their favorites to succeed and often do everything in their power to help achieve that. Someone who just published their post, sees how it's not getting attention (mainly due to lack of consumers), sees low rewards next to their work, visits the trending page, and gets mad. Then they write a post talking about how those who found success did it using nefarious tactics and dirty deeds or kissing ass, which is a lie. "Why would someone earn so much just for joking around. That's stupid." Yet they'll gladly pay at the door, enter an arena, and enjoy a comedian or performance of some kind. So if people aren't even going to look at the other content, chances are they won't be sharing it either.
Works best when it's organic. Not forced.
Yeah, I get it. Just frustrating others don’t seem to.
