After reading a hundred posts on this topic, it still doesn't make complete sense to me. Your post was upvoted to 5 dollars in value and I upvoted it, giving you .09 cents. You said you spent 100 dollars to promote your posts? I calculated the upvote value of your posts and it comes out to $39.61. It seems to me like you're spending way more than you're earning.

I found your post in the promoted section. How much did you spend to promote this post?

Thank you for your time and consideration. Any help will be MUCH appreciated!
