I get the motivation part of it all, but motivating people to post crud just because it 'might earn them some money' is foolish.

There IS a downside to it, if the spam overtakes the quality content, we need to curate through rivers of shit or risk losing value of the platform. Lurk more and learn what makes a good post if you lack in the passion to directly contribute. Posting for the hell of posting is costing value for all of us involved.
