I have been blogging on Publish0x for a few weeks.
I noticed that the traffic on my first post was huge, every post there after was not. This is suspicious traffic flow at best.
Not to say that my content is necessarily traffic worthy or my writing deserved to be read, but artificailly increasing traffic on the first post to encourage more posts seems like something a free crypto site would do.
The site does allow you to tip out authors. The reader also gets a portion of the tip. This system is poor. It insentivizes both more posts and more readers, but the tipper chooses what percentage of the tip they get. It should be a 40-60 split with the advantage to the writer. That just seem more fair and its still a situation where everyone wins.
You can only tip after read every few hours. So with this site you can make maybe 2 cents per day by reading alone.
