I can honestly say that I haven't read a single post by any of those authors in at least the last 30 days. But I'm pretty sure they don't care about how many people actually read their posts.

@abitcoinskeptic is worth a look. Varied posts and most of them genuinely interesting (he is Korean and he visits many historical sites takes great photos and provides context and history). Despite his steem handle most of his posts aren't crypto related...
Thanks for the shout out (I'm Canadian, I just lived in Korea for a really long time). I actually try to post and probably spend too much time doing it.
I follow around 5 of these authors and consistently like the content of tarazkp and slowwalker. Slowwalker doesn't really engage people on that account, but I like his pictures of Korean temples and nature (maybe his posts seem extremely high, but he is now a whale and I think organic).
I'm only on that list because I use bidbots. 590 a week sort of looks bad, but I don't make anything near that and if we look at Steem as a mooney making thing (especially at this stage and these prices), it just doesn't make any sense to be Steeming.
My average weekly earnings are about 75 Steem and I've been counting since I started posting every day in January 2019. That 16.28 SBD or 13.16 USD a week. I probably spend at least 90 minutes average per post when I include research, photos, writing, editing, responding to comments. That's around 9 hours a week or less than 2 dollars an hour. I can easily do freelance work (that I enjoy) for around 40 dollars an hour.
If I consider I paid around 3000 dollars for my Steem and I engage others too, it gets worse. Obviously, I'm not writing posts for the money. I could make more money collecting cans and bottles, lol.
I know some of the community doesn't like it, but I'll follow the consensus and the consensus obviously supports it if there isn't abuse. Last I heard @theycallmedan was saying he won't target posts less than 200SBD after HF21.
OCD and is great. and I like OCDB the best and hope it gets a lot more stake after HF21 or at least some copy cat bots with different caps or metrics or whatever. I wouldn't miss most of the other bots. However, the new ones that eat up scot-tokens and vote for Steem are an interesting concept. Thinking how Steem would work if everyone just got 10 cents a post in an interesting concept.
Him and tarazkp are the only ones I read that are up there just cause of ocdb. It's pretty sad that not many more authors use it which would mean the max bid would be lowered and it wouldn't have this big effect on the top author payouts. I'm hoping demand and interest will increase with HF21.
Other than that I recommend checking out the OCD compilation posts, all of the rewards go towards the curators who find the posts.
Thanks, I've never fully figured out what OCD is.
Didn't mean to turn this into promo. :P
OCD? oh that's right another list i'm not on. conspirators everywhere lol.
You mean ocdb? Also you don't post, also you're not called Michael
yes x 3. lol. That other dude is probably loaded from all the gifts that where meant for me ;)
The post rewards are basically an incentive to find overlooked and good authors of most genres of content. On a daily basis they nominate posts they find, the curators vote from within discord which posts should be featured onto the daily compilation post (some standards and rules), then they get posted with short descriptions and links. The curators get 1 of OCD's daily votes on the comp post where as the rest of the daily votes go to the posts they found.
So basically follow @ocd and open up the posts and you'll find curated content that deserves the votes you're willing to give, the short descriptions help letting you know if there's content you might be genuinely interested in to read more and possibly follow that author which we usually focus on being new but not easy to do with the times.
Lately we've been lacking authors to curate though (no surprises there with current price) so we're looking to adapt a bit and with the coming changes in HF21 it's a good time to take a short break, see what else we can do to help Steem and focus on that until we can go back to fully curating again. Will be posting about some of the changes :soon:.
I actually agree. He is great and I enjoy him as well, I also often read and enjoy Tarazkp who loves to write and also engages with others.
A number of them don’t really write anything. Lol
