> I'm okay with that level of content (cats) if they are assigned the appropriate value relative to others haha.

Yes, lol. As long as they're paid what they're actually worth. Someone took a picture of a jacket and made $100s. Crazy!

About the comments. I don't upvote my own comments. I think, in a comments section, other members of the discussion (and the OP) can decide which comments are worth better positioning. It seems a bit too self-promotiony to do it with a comment.

Yes DMania posts. I've seen some pretty good memes in there. I know some think of memes as shitposts but if they're done well they're worth something even though they're often low-effort. Come on, we all have 'don't wanna write' days :D

But, yes, the more people that use bots, the less profitable they'll be. Interesting times ahead.
