RE: Pay attention to the Active Pages, and forget about the money.
It's great to see that this is the trending sentiment around the community. I still see many junk posts in New, but it's also good to see many failing, and those interesting in a quick buck getting frustrated and giving up. I'm braced for an explosion of such posts in the coming months, but months after that I bet things stabilize and we are only filtered down to real content.
It's all going to be a matter of how well we can automatically stop spam. That's going to be the key. We need more and better anti-spam and anti-plagiarism bots; @cheetah is a hero but it's only one.
As for people looking for a quick buck, why would we ever get rid of those? Look at reddit - a billion terrible low-quality meaningless things get posted for every gem. It's going to be vastly worse than that here because there's money involved, and we just need to figure out how to deal with it.

I didn't say get rid of them. I'm just reiterating points which have worked for me.
By putting the money out of my head, not worrying about whales, and concentrating on community in the key first moments of a blog post, I've been able to get where I am today. I'm not a rock star by any means, but I'm definitely a lot further along than I led myself to believe I could be when I started here. ;-)
Oh, the "getting rid of them" comment was directed specifically to @liberosist who seemed to be saying that someday we'd weed out all the crapposters and just be left with quality.
I appreciated your post! Carry on!
Thank you for that clarification, because now I agree with you. LOL
Here's hoping.
It was really good man glad to see you finally getting some traction after all these good posts!
Hey man, thank you for pointing this site out to me. :)
The activity in here has dropped since the last vote and post, so my earnings are dropping, too. Oh well! Look at that! I wasn't expecting even $50 from it because I was more hellbent on making my point! LOL
Couldn't agree more
Thanks. :)
