Let me explain this a different way. Let's say Odysee has 50 Million users. You post a post onto the Odysee platform. All 50 Million of those people upvote your content and you get paid.

Where will the perpetual money come from?

Also, when Odysee had only 5 users, were you able to get "perpetual passive income" then?

If so, how?

If people stop paying into the Social Security system, will those recipients continue to get paid in perpetuity?

If so, how?

Money (whether it's fiat, or a crypto like Hive) has to come from somewhere. Austrian Economics 101.
