2 posts. Rank 16 out of 80 curators. And 1,052 views that paid me exactly zero. Ethos asked how you reward unique content on X without paying for botted views. After two posts in Curators v2 my answer is simple: stop paying for views. Entry is 1300+ on Ethos, and only reactions from 1400+ accounts count. A real link click is 0.5 points, a reply of 2+ words is 5, a quote is 15. A curator who fakes it with bots risks negative reviews or a slash on his real onchain rep. That is a very different price tag than "get banned and open a new account". Now my own numbers, since I just poked it with my hands. My breakdown of the Jesse Pollak trust market (Yes sat at 71%) got 1,052 views. On old X habits I'd already be opening champagne. Ethos politely reminded me that views pay zero here. What paid were 34 clean clicks to the market, 0.5 points each. The topic landed with people, and that feels better than any view counter. My favorite part of the dashboard is the "What didn't count" tab. Antifraud calmly cut 23 clicks from bots and 7 clicks from cloud servers (AWS and Google Cloud). And then this line: "Your own replies: 14. Replying to yourself doesn't count." I posted a 15-tweet thread, and the system gently filed my 14 follow-up tweets under me talking to myself. No tokens for heart-to-hearts with yourself. Fair. I also tried to think like a farmer. What if 1400+ curators just reply to each other in circles? The rules got there first. Repeat replies from the same people weigh less every time, and mutual activity between curators gets cut 2 to 10 times. So does this fix paid posting? It looks like it does, and I'll keep checking against my own numbers. Next I'll post living stories from inside the platform. Reputation markets on Ethos Trade, loud slashes, and real dashboard numbers, including the ones that make me look silly. This post carries the Paid partnership label, as the rules say, and yes, I'm paid in base:0xeeee77bc7e82c0d4166d52f58239d4c5bf41eeee to be here.

Tell me how you like the update. https://t.co/V8Rh1Yek0h
