Look, things happen. Maybe STEM Team people drained their power on a given day. My power is on 80% now and I need to stop upvoting for today. Maybe they don't understand that particular post. Maybe... There were much better posts on that day.

Question is simple: if that post was that good... Why there were no votes on that post?
I mean, anonymous people make a good post. No experience, no connections - they simply write a good post and earn like 40$. One guy from my country just did it. He wrote a review about his vintage lenses.
If those people write really good posts, after the post No.10, I guarantee they will get the attention.
Another guy wrote about underwater diving archeology - 20 $ on each.
A woman wrote some travel/ history post - 15 $.

And those are the real people, with no community support, no reputation, no voting power.

How they succeed and marvelous STEM authors failed? If they are so good.
