Table View
Most people in this community create more articles about their photography for this is the most easy way to create articles, you just need to put a photo on it without any details. With too many competition also in the tagged article , it is very hard for each individual to earn from it , even if the article is a quality one. There are some cases that low quality articles are being upvoted by many even if there are still many articles that are better.I feel sorry sometimes to the author , dedicating a long hours of editing such quality post and just earning cents.
