Sure. So I just upvoted your comment and will earn half the value for pushing the button.

I did it again. I'm hardly breaking a sweat and you're already earning more than your post today so far, and so will I, just from this interaction.

Most people voting your posts aren't even looking at them. Just so you know.

Back when I used to post sometimes I'd hand out 20-25 dollars in comment upvotes alone. If I did that today and people waited for a higher price; same result. I'd earn half that value just for upvoting those comments and talking to people, on top of what my post earned. They would upvote, receive their half, plus get a comment upvote and receive half.

Not many run their blogs like I did, even today. But when the comments come to you, it's a little easier to earn from that.

I currently have about $5 coming in just from commenting. Might get around 25-30 HP just from voting today. Nothing crazy but it all adds up.

Could spend a few years writing posts but if you sell it, you lose these benefits. Those people powering up everything will be able to do this and they'll also be receiving votes from those accounts. It's a long term game. I get where they're coming from but not everyone will play that game. You can work and sell and work and sell and work and sell and never gain traction as well. Boils down to personal preference.

But I can't take you up on that offer, because I'm not going to try hard. Just going to do my thing and whatever happens, happens. Won't be posting either.

It's true though. Creating content isn't the only way to earn here. And by the sounds of things there's going to be a shortage of paying consumers. Consumers earn by powering up and pushing a button. Much better deal than tipping a stream, for example. But they spend the money anyway so why not be rewarded for it.
