Personally, I got whacked hard on this deal. Lost over 90% of my income. It was as simple as one curator loving me - and another with a different opinion. First 500 stories - not one curated. Next 50 - almost all curated. Next 250 - none curated. The quality and subjects stayed the same. The process is entirely subjective from my experience. And yes, I had ugly trolls who I felt at the time were the cause. And no, I received no explanation. It has left a bitter taste in my mouth which won't go away.
