Haha - I didn't see this coming...
Well, from what I hear (today) answers have been forthcoming
Apparently, there are writers who are making good money - nope not in our group or niche, obviously
They don't seem to receive much engagement but from what I hear, they're minting it - go figure
But still, I say why have the claps, comments and highlights if you have something against engagement? Take that out then! Or what about 'quality' articles - check out the stats in all the pubs I am editor for - they are quality pubs - and one wonders what's up with general distribution (not in a good way)
