Has anyone else noticed that Read.Cash is a bit of an exclusive club? It's advertised as free and open for people to come and post and monetize their content using cypto, but it doesn't really work. When you look at the top articles that get the votes, the comments and the donations, they all tend to come from handfuls of accounts that tend to sponsor each other, such as @CryptoMax , @Pantera, @MobTwo, @VoluntaryJapan and @Fexonice1

It's not even a small difference either. These people tend to send a few cents here and a few cents there to other contributors to keep them active but receive hundreds or thousands of dollars in return for articles that quite often say nothing new. It's also self-fulfilling, as some of the funding is then used to boost their articles to ensure they get more exposure, something people who are getting just a few cents are unable to do.

It really doesn't feel like Read.Cash is the decentralized dream many of its users support, it's just a boys club where the riff raff are kept around to keep up appearances.

Well, that's my view. Take it or leave it but make up your mind quickly, I expect this post to be removed by the powers that be shortly.

EDIT: Amazingly @Fexonice1 has now copied my article onto noise.cash and started getting tips for it there. Kudos.
