Frankly it took me a while to figure this one out.
Somehow I was under the impression that the sponshorship option was "on" for all members and I only began wondering about it after I saw many members getting a few people sponsoring them.
Honestly it didn't bother me much, as my posts didn't have much visibility either. Only lately I started having more than 10 views on each and I had to do searches to figure out how to enable the sponsors option on my posts.
I guess that this option shouldn't be hidden like an easter egg! Honestly even with the instructions it took me a while to find the $ symbol. Anyway I managed to turn them on after 2 months on read.cash but still I'm not hoping for much. I would love to have people interested in my posts and this enables the author to become better, still I will keep in the same pace discussing facts and cryptocurrency issues as usual.
I have total respect for read.cash and I feel they can achieve much more in the future. I am glad to be here and read opinions from experienced people in cryptocurrencies, which are usually not so popular and almost always buried by the crypto media. It is a good alternative from other sources that just repeat the same narratives.
The sponsorship button is not automatic, it must be activated- thank God you knew on time. I equally appreciate you for appreciating read.cash as one in one million site that has really distinguished itself.
