$0.50 for 5 minutes cut and pasting a day - Is it worth posting on Blurt?

Drum role please, my results for 26 days of cut, paste and shit posting on Blurt are officially in, and.....

  • 26 days of posts copy/ pasted from Hive/ Leo = 401 Blurt

  • 26 days of random photo shitposts = 914 Blurt

  • 26 days total Blurt earned = 1315 Blurt

  • With Blurt at $0.02 that = $13 in total to me (I think it's a 50-50 curation split), or $0.50 a day

  • Hourly rate = $6 an hour as one has to wait 5 minutes between posts!

Is it worth posting on Blurt with these statistics...??

Hmmmm - well it's a tough call - $6 an hour IS below minimum wage, but then again it's hardly work, this is just tagged on to my 'blogging micro chores' tasks.

And - you know crypto - Hive-ists may hate to admit it, but Blurt COULD moon to $0.20 - there's a fuck lot less of it than Hive after all, and despite all the dumping that's been taking place, the price has stayed at $0.02, and it's threatened/ threatening to go higher! So that $0.50 a day could easily, easily quadruple (and the rest).

And what if Blurt goes to $1? That'd be nearly $700 I'd have missed out on 'earning' in the last month.

However this is a very negative experience

I know only a handful of people on Blurt, there's almost no engagement - I upvote other people's shit, they in return upvote mine, it's circle jerk tastic, every now and then someone comes along with a large stake and slaps a vote on one of my shit posts.

It's low effort milk, so it's probably got a better chance of mooning than Hive has, but it's a bit crap over there TBH!

I mean take my highest paying post.....

And compare it to what this cut and past post (which earned 76 LEO and was a perfectly good post)

I mean come on, that's not great, in comparison, although in fairness for the first post I had just been watching recent Metallica videos on YouTube so at least it had some integrity to it!

If I keep posting I'll probably go for a modified approach...

I MIGHT try a new tactic on Blurt - it seems to be the kind of place where people don't mind you dumping yer daily life photos - maybe I'll take a few snaps during the day and use it kind of like Instagram, that may better use of it - I'd like to keep earning the coin, I think it might DO something crazy like moon into the dollar range, but I think I'm done with really cut and pasting and shitposting, it feels dirty!

Postscript on the blurt price

I'm aware CMC is saying the Blurt price is $0.04, but I don't believe it, there's been some funny swings with the price in the last couple of days, so I'm staying safe and calling it $0.02, although I have withdrawn some to ionomy and put a rather silly sell order in, just in case some idiot decides to buy the entire book!

It does appear to be alt season now, after all.
