You're telling me! It's absurd. Before I wrote this I was thinking of how much a Hive post could earn from 1.8M upvotes. Even if a majority of the accounts were smaller it would earn much more than $5. Quora is pretty much just a niche platform at this point, and one that appears to be in decline. In the age of AI a platform built on the premise of people answering questions just won't have the appeal it once did.
