I tend to think that if you are cashing out on everything, it makes the platform more like a casino. People will be more likely to write gimmicky click bait trying to make max profits per post.

Everyone has their own circumstance, but to me, there really doesnt seem a point in cashing out if there is not a need.

I mean, I am still a noob and haven't seen more than a couple dollars in a day, it seems that as you get bigger more people pay attention, if only for the influence you carry...

The money factor should at most be kept on the back burner regardless. Unless you are someone well known who makes bank for blurbs.
