To be honest, if they removed Medium part of the bounty completely (why they removed that btw?) I can see some logic not to redistribute those tokens to something else, as they were meant for Medium part of the campaign. I was asking about parts of the campaign that are still there, and whether they recalculated spreadsheet because they removed some users.
Somewhere I have seen such explanation (dont remember where and it is not Poolz related, but can be used somehow in our case) - We have less claps than the amount of participants. Participants did nothing and we decided to close Medium campaign.
In our case - there are more than 1 thousand participants in Medium campaign. The campaign ended November 17, 2020, so I've checked number of claps on the articles before that period. Minimum amount of claps is 1.5k, maximum 4,7k. Means hunters might have clapped more than needed. To bad it is impossible to check who clapped and who did not. There is chance that not a single hunter made a clap and all the claps are from people that are interested in the project.
Anyway, there is a rule "Do good comments on the post." and this is a weakest part of Poolz medium account. All the articles that were made during bounty campaign period has less than 50 comments. This could be the reason to close Medium campaign for being unsuccessful. Or manager could have checked who among 1026 participants really followed medium campaign rules and give him stakes.
