I'm intrigued about the rest of her story! Sorry to hear she's so unhappy and confined to a wheelchair. Having money definitely solves some of life's problems and can easily create more/different problems

Oh yes, I miss the days of larger rewards too. I find that I keep coming back here, even through the slumps, for the engagement and camaraderie. I hope the community can find a way forward that encourages

It's really eye-opening, isn't it? They're estimated to have made about $120M last year according to some accounts. Small potatoes when compared to other social media platforms but it's still a lot. I

You're welcome. Yes, I agree. The monopolization of attention is what it is. What's purely evil is making indie content creators pay to reach people who want to read them--X, Facebook, Medium. Quora isn't

Wow, 3M views is something! Sometimes we just win the algorithm lottery I guess.

I don't think it would be impossible if we had a cohesive roadmap. Onboarding could be made much more simple and a rebranding would probably be required.

Oh yes, 1.8 million upvotes in the golden days (2016/7) could have bought you a house. : )

Sponsorships are a huge part of the equation. I'm shocked by how much some people are making on X now. Some make their payouts public but that pool of creators who are thriving seems very small. The worst,

It's still possible to make decent money on YouTube and X is increasing payouts as well. I've never been able to crack the X algo to get enough engagement to be monetized there though—it's continuously

You'll love Austin. The vibe and the food there are pretty incredible. I hope to make it back this coming November for another shareholder's meeting. Hopefully I can talk my brother or my wife into making

I should think about changing our furnace filter too. The AQI is much better today, in the 60s instead of 300s.
