A Look At Your Top 30 Paid Authors...

in #busy5 years ago

So, of course, I've made a list.

Lists always make people mad... Either they wanted to be on the list or they didn't want to be on the list...

Hardly anyone says... I don't care about the list.

So, check out the changes and one of the most interesting things is the dollar amounts are down by quite a bit. I would consider that a win by it's self, but also so well known and community supported authors are starting to show up.

This suggests to me a better distribution of rewards to the community...

Well what are your thoughts and reactions?

Both behavior and blockchain calculations are still adjusting to the HF changes, but it is an interesting start.

Thank you trafalgar, appreciate your work around here.

You too micheal

Thanks for all the abuse fighting efforts. We need as many people as possible to normalize downvoting and honest curation.

I love your sense of humor on this stuff. :) Nice job curating and making comments, good to have you involved.

Lol, @traf is doing just fine ;)

@traf,
Wish to see ya at the top list again dude!

Cheers~

What a shame that the majority of these high earners simply write about Steem. I also think it's sad that rewards have decreased, this is hardly what we need to encourage new and original creators here .

Of course, we see new 'curation' projects and minnow support groups almost daily but the sad truth is, there is almost nothing to read anymore.

Additionally, these figures are meaningless if they are simply about post rewards. Do we have curation reward figures too please?

I like to read and write about Steem. I used the Steem tag to learn about Steem when I came.

I don't like game reviews, recipes, food posts, photography or porn. However, I don't worry about those topics earning because others like them.

:) I know that is the new current topic, let's not write about Steem. I think it is dumb.

However, I think curation earning in combination would be a very interesting report.

Don’t knock my food posts!! Jk 😉😅

Pretty cool. Lots of caveats including:

The liquid rewards of my (4) actifit contest post are sent to Eric as funding for the prize, and 80% of acidyo’s (8) sfpl posts are sent elsewhere too. These are all given full BT votes and so I suspect we’d be lower.

It would be interesting to see where the $s are coming from for each account 😏 (has anyone told xeldal about newsteem yet?)

Yeah there are a lot of moving parts right now, changes in behavior, calculations, more manual curation..

You know I find it strange that I had never heard of @gooddream yet he or she joined in April 2016. I wonder why I never heard of this account before, I must have missed it for three years never seeing a post from it and yet they must have posted a lot being REP 80. Well stranger things have happened. Perhaps they changed the accounts name?

you can't change account names, I also didn't know it is. I would guess they were making sure to stay off trending, with late votes or votes to comments or something.

Yes, I just looked at their actions on Steemworld, kind of funny I see a lot of kind of big accounts I had never heard of before, you know over 20,000 SP. Well what is is, I did think your post was interesting.

might start down voting some of the top 10 new list, screw the auto voters over :)

Honestly I think most of the active people are really happy to see downvotes.

That means it is working!

Any chance you could make a list of the 30 worst paid people on here @whatsup. I might have a chance of making that one 🤣🤔

I don't see you on​ the list.

Last month I wasn't in the top 200 and this month I am at 87

It would be interesting to see the top 200.

I'd say that list is useful only after about 3-4 weeks from now if the goal is to measure organic popularity.

yeah, behavior is still changing and so are the blockchain calculations.

It's interesting to watch the changes happen though

A lot of changes will come from @ocdb going manual.

That's a neat tool, I actually found myself on 113th place, didn't even expect to be in top 200.

I fell way off the list but making more Steem per post tbh.

Here is one of our lower paid author's posts @whatsup:

https://steempeak.com/homestead/@johndoer123/homestead-update-2-spring-is-tapped-teepee-built

This post been curated by 4 programs and appears on many lists of good posts to support. It still has less than $1 reward on it after 4 days. If you would like to support - great! If not, please let me know what you think is wrong with it and how this minnow can improve.

This is very sweet of you! Thank you so much!🤗 While I'm pretty sure I'm getting about what i deserve(not a great post builder) I will definitely take a little free advertising. I hope mr./Mrs. What's up can give me a few pointers. I see them in the PAL discord and i know they do really care about this place like I do. All i want to do here is get better at blogging and learn new block chain stuff. I just love our community here on Steem St. and i really really enjoy documenting our families story and doing my best to help those here in need. Thank you again for your nice words and for sharing my blog here!!!🤗🤗🤗

He's a guy - keep in contact if you have a connection to him. You never know. And keep posting your interesting posts about how your new place and family are getting along. The comments you get and the small curations tell me you are on the right track, @johndoer123 :)
