Is the rewards leaderboard disproportionally weighted to the top end.?

If you are capable of hitting top 3, either with new users boost of vertical video spamming, or spam hitting recycled content or thirst trap content, or even genuine content, in any way, it's more appealing than  releasing continued, well thought out, written content, that lands you at anything lower than the $30 tier. 

It all depends on what content is getting pushed to the top but you've had to hit the $30 tier twenty times to get what the top three users get once. 

I think the curve needs to be flattened.

There is nothing more powerful in this world than words.

users that are here don't matter

the ones that matter are the ones that are not here
