If you guys need daily/weekly payouts and 100% luck to keep your mining operations running, this isn't the pool for you. The extra 1.1% you'll pay at the next best option should balance out the variance risk of a smaller pool.
When we hit blocks the payout is way bigger, but that doesn't help if your mining budget can't absorb bad months without a block.
I understand mining is a new hobby for thousands of people, but those people need to understand that it's not "plug in your miner and the magic internet money comes", its a global race every few minutes.
