RE: A Morning Rant: @haejin isn't Doing Anything Most of You Wouldn't Do
Gotta agree with the money thing. Without the financial reward, who would choose to blog and post here over the alternatives? Probably not many at all. It's certainly not the easiest of platforms on which to get your work noticed. Other than groups like curie, exposure for people producing high quality content is hard to come by. That needs to change before someone else comes along with a better UI etc, adds the financial incentive and takes market leadership.
I've been saying it since the summer of 2016: the way this place should have been designed would have been to design a fun site to use without the monetary incentive. Something people would use for free. And only then add the monetary factor.
Things were done ass-backwards, and the end result of today is the only way things could have ever turned out.
