spend hours crafting a post for a buck which us what a 8 dollar reward on a post is essentially.

I know what you mean also the 7 day time limit on earnings was always more than a bit of an issue. Heck I've got blogs that still generate money that are well over 14 years old.

I like the whole concept of hive et al in terms of ownership but the limited time frame is a real problem for some people who are trying to make a living.

I suppose it would be possible to cross post to a regular old web 2 website running adsense? That might work but it kinda defeats the objective.

Ps. I fell below the 4000 hours on YouTube (3770 hours) and got demonetized...again! Lol can you believe it?
Plus I've got 7000 hours watch time on shorts that don't count. Shorts are a disaster in my experience. Especially viral shorts. Go figure.

Lucky I don't do any of this for the money regardless of what I mentioned above. 😂😂💰💰💸👍🏼
