So you come and critique a new user’s post thats just trying to make money and is just starting out on the site? I don’t see the logic in that. Wouldn’t you want more people to see the issues? Commenting this on Luke’s medias would be much more practical if thats what you want.

Also, who wants to get paid maybe 600k for a bunch of work? These statistical things are not easy to set up like god forbid users get paid for it.

I've been trying to talk to Luke about a lot of things for weeks, especially on the updating side of things. I continuously get ignored. I even approached him privately to see if he was taking issue with things I was saying, since my tone does come off as largely negative most of the time (yeah, sorry). It seemed fine, but I don't get the response from him that makes me think a technical conversation is worth either of our time.

If you want to question my approach, that's fine, but gordie clearly picked up what I put down. It almost makes more sense for me to approach a new guy, since you guys have just been applauding graphs of a veteran user for multiple seasons. Nothing I can really do about that. There's no practicality associated with posting comments anywhere, if I'm honest. People just glance over what I say 90% of the time. I commented on this because I had commented on a previous post of gordie's - saying that a certain rating could be normalized by TPE and maybe produce a result that could be better interpreted - and gordie had been posting quite often lately.

There's absolutely no way that someone would be paid just 600k for doing work. I know that we base it on word count, but look at Izzy's comments about creating videos. We all know this takes extra work to do, and we haven't fully automated media grading [yet, omg], so it would get rewarded a bonus. @Baelor Swift advocated for that back in the day and I'm pretty sure it still happens. But yeah, I even commented at first that if that was indeed the fear, then I completely understand the approach of just publishing all the data.

Did I miss anything? Also FWIW, this stat in particular is easy to set up. I like the approach, but it's not complex.
