Actually it was for around 2500 or so SP. We started out with basically nothing except Ethan's delegation and some bits-and-bobs from a few other people, some of whom didn't prove to be all that reliable.
We got some really, really nice upvotes from people in the early days ... with daily payouts in the $25 - $30 range for quite a while. That helped a lot. (It helped being able to rub "somebody's" nose in it, too. TBH. But that's another story.)
But, as you know ... things slid. And about the time I found I was doing the curation post, group business, etc., and we were reaping less than $5 a post, I said several times it really was hardly worth my time doing it all any more. Little did I know how bad it would get -- and stay ... and still is.
And yet -- I'm still here.
