Are users being overpaid?

No Idea! It is a relative question. Also it is an opinion. You will have one opinion and I will have one. We are both entitled to ours.

Amazon doesn't pay their employees less when they sell Amazon stock

We are not hive employees. No one pays us. We get paid if our cumulative users like us more than our cumulative haters, stake weighted! :) Since the later is literally non-existent, we have demonized and killed them, it is just basically the former

Personally I don't care one way or the other. I had some time at hand, as I am home recovering from a major surgery. I wanted to see for myself what is going on at hive. I wrote the finding for myself as well.

Hope you are doing well.
