Part of the reason you come to SN is to learn, not to make money. If you really want to earn money here, contribute valuable content, comment on other people's posts, leave your "good morning" message in the Saloon, and be generous with others. I came here thinking I could make easy money by generating low-quality content with AI, but thank God my mindset changed. I post what I like, I'm myself, I zap on posts I like, I share with friends here, and I've been more generous lately. Don't worry about the daily rewards; it's true they're an incentive, but if you focus on them, you miss the best part of SN: be yourself and share what you like. On the other side of the screen, there's someone waiting to see what you like and share. Find your place here on SN; it's the best advice I can give you.
If I got ripped off spending just 4,000, I wouldn't dare make larger moves. What if I spent 30,000 or 50,000 sats, only to get back 1,000 sats—at most—in rewards? This just goes to show that the rewards system isn't impartial; it’s completely rigged, and the way it works isn't open to everyone equally. Only a select group knows the mechanics, and only they collect the rewards. The publicly available information is neither accurate nor fully explanatory—it’s full of gaps.
