Why are we paying $18,000 for repetitive low-effort content?

We hate to bring up names, but as investors in the ecosystem seeing great potential on this platform.... influential voters, please start working to put your votes out with better care. It is your right to use your votes any way you like it but please be more particular about repeating votes. We would also like to echo a comment made by our favourite user Hive account@berniesanders on an issue awhile ago that happened to another heavily rewarded account.

We would like to apologise for singling out an account but this is the most obvious case for a non-developer on this platform.

First account: $16,089 for the past 30 days, average of $522 per post

Four spots on trending today. Is the network only made up of a few people?

One way street.

Their work is mostly copy-paste screenshot materials without even any attempts proofread nor edit out typos. Not only that, posting mediocre items on two accounts multiple times a day knowing there are massive voting trails coming their way is just not a good sign for us. We don't think the $18k per month paycheck is justifiable for this level of production, and any responsible community members on the receiving end of such network bias should practice some self-restraint and leave room for others. Surely it is not much of a problem if their work clearly consumes plenty of time and effort for the pay they're getting. But that is just not the case here.

But..... we would not like to fault and discourage any content creators in putting out anything they want to. It is up to the voters to give out their votes responsibly by setting some standards, particularly for those getting disproportionately rewarded frequently to top trending. It only makes sense to do so. We rest our case and hope the situation improves.....
