Seeing everyone bitch and moan about payouts is really annoying and I've only been around a week. I can't imagine what it's like for everyone who's been here since the beginning.
Frankly, most posts aren't good enough to be rewarded as much as they are. Everyone gets their panties in a twist when a meme makes a few hundred bucks. Why not just enjoy the fact that you're getting paid to post whatever the hell you want on a website?
EDIT: To be clear @tuck-fheman, I don't think you're bitching and moaning. I quite enjoyed your post.
