It used to be a somewhat valuable reputation metric. However now, thanks to the embrace of Bidbots its entirely useless, as one can just pay their way to an extremely high reputation with out the need to generate anything of value at all.

I've noticed this lately as well =( Yesterday I found a user who only posts a motivational quote found on Google once a day and every one of his posts reach over $100.00. It's a bit disheartening, as i've seen a lot of really talented artists on here post nothing but original content they've worked extremely hard on, networked for a decent reputation, and ultimately receive maybe 80 or 90 cents a post at best.

In that case you must take into consideration that in order to earn that $100 they are paying basically that same amount to the promotion bots. They really aren't earning all that much.

The 0.90 you talk about, at least is earned for the content.

Ah, gotcha. Wasn't sure how generating revenue from promo bots worked on here.

Not well. They supposedly provide you with a 15% return, however during a bear market that doesn't exactly work out well. The returns are comparatively small.

well thanks for the info!

You're welcome :)
