That's true. At the time it wasn't such a rarity, a large number of the people I introduced made at least hundreds, and in one case many thousands of $ on posts. But there was a relatively small number of users with a large pie due to the price going through the roof.
There will be large payouts again I think, but generally spread out over a large userbase.
I think so too. And people may begin to earn regular incomes from it.
An alternative income of even a few dollars would be significant for some.
I am looking forward to see how HF18 plays out.
