Yes and no. Sometimes you are right and a random comment or silly meme can generate more than your well thought out post that you spent a while creating to receive a few cents. But a lot of posts that are gaining attention and Trending are firsts or something people want to bring attention to. Is a picture of marijuana posted worth thousands of dollars? No, but it shows that maybe a controversial topic can be discussed on this platform and may be the reason it was rewarded so heavily. Instead of someone writing about their first experience smoking, or an article on how to grow it or even an article that has an opposing viewpoint, people instead think all pictures of marijuana will garner lots of money so they get frustrated when they post the same type of content and aren't rewarded. People rarely value copycat type content, which is why a well thought out #introduceyourself post often garners a lot of support, because nobody can copy your personal story and people that enjoy the content you have written are more likely to view subsequent posts of yours. And I know the follow button is being worked on so if people want they can see their favorite posters in one feed.
