I also think that it might be better not to mention money amounts but instead maybe just the amount of upvotes. It surely raises security concerns if someone has published all his/hers identity information while everyone can easily spot how much money they make per post. This might lead to a higher risk of physical attacks (i.e. robberies) and cyber attacks (i.e. hacking/phishing attacks).

Hey @mctiller. Thank you.
I agree with you. Showing the amount of money has another side effect. People get excited to see the posts with big numbers but soon feels frustrated to not be able to generate the same money even dedicating a lot of effort and posting good content. Succes should be measured by the audience it generate and not how much money it value.

Yes, you are absolutely right!. It really has this "disapointed", "frustrated", "angry" effect on lots of people.

I do think there should be some mention of the money or payout

or at least it should be users choice. I would put

  • reset password
  • recover account
  • permissions

all under one tab called settings

There would be also enough room for putting some advanced yes/no etc settings - like disable votes and payout amount .. if wanted by the user ..just brainstorming of course
