How do people fall into their niches naturally when you land on the page and see a list of irrelevant topics. Keep in mind that new users aren't going to be as diligent as you'd think. Most users spend very little time on a new site or service before moving on if they don't find what they like/want.
This issue is no different from any service/startup/software, etc.
You put in the work and time..you get paid! How awesome is that? This is the difference. Yes, the payouts do seem crazy, but that is the way it is.
I signed up back in May and didn't put the work in. This cost me in earnings, all my fault. I had the same opportunity but didn't put the work in. So, now i can't be mad because smooth is voting himself a $217 reward . I will say this, when I initially came on board and made some post, I felt like it wasn't a fair system.
Looking back, I didn't put the time in to understand how to maximize this opportunity. I unfairly judged the community and the platform my first time around. Now I'm putting the work in to make money.
@instructor2121, I think you mis-interpreted what was being said. No one is complaining here about the time spent and payouts.
