This forum will light up as the campaign progresses. Of course there is considerable effort to increase pay because the new state has generally been underpaid, and in the future more pay is expected and acceptable. Projects are long-term and very strong teams.
We want more money!

Yes, it is a little money for each individual, but look at things more realistically. I assume that this is a comparison with another forum but look at the payment rates for many campaigns there. $2.50 per post, or in many campaigns, the strongest rank earns "only" $70-$90 per week.
At the same time, keep in mind that "that" forum has 1.5 million visits per month compared to this one, which has 40-50k visits monthly.
Do you understand that the value of the advertisement that is shown depends on the size of the auditorium?
