I'm saddened to see what I originally thought was a good project turn into almost no control whatsoever over self-voting "community" accounts to the tune of hundreds of dollars per post. These "trails" were supposed to be about finding and upvoting quality content, not creating a bunch of different trails to upvote with whale power.

What happened to spreading/allocating rewards to users on their own posts? Why isn't that the goal, instead of funneling a ton of rewards through the -trail accounts?

i see a 'daily photo selections' post BY @photo-trail making $375 and features 17 photographers.
how much of that $375 will those photographers see?
if they aren't getting shit, do they know that?

I have a question on that post which they have yet to respond to.

I got featured as well in that trail, they made a lot of SBD by just collating all photos of the day.

Much better 😊

wrong. we are committed to building more communities...self sustaining communities. you gotta think bigger man!

how much money has been generated for the trails from content that belongs to other people?
how much of that money has been given to the creators?

actually, I've had some posts upvoted by a trail and have gained from it

but did the trail then take your content, post in their own thread and make hundreds off of it?
if not, would you be upset if they did?

because thats what i see in this thread:

I think it might be sarcasm, or irony, or something in that vein.
