The problem is, unless we pull stunts to garner followers, no one is seeing anything we write. Your algorithm blows. Sure $5 a month for the service isn't a lot, but unless we take steps you'd deem not ok, and we aren't being dropped in any damn feeds for engagement, that $0-$2 profit means there is still a loss. There are other websites designed better to give exposure to people, and are easier to earn from. So if you remove the ability to freely engage in a way you dislike, but don't fix your algorithm, what exactly is my incentive to be bothered with staying and continuing to fork over money to you every month?
