In fact at one point when BTC when the recent bull market started, members who met the maximum post requirement were recieving close to or more than $500 a week.
I think it was more than that, but I'm 99.9% sure it was at least that, which is nutty to think about.
Great job, OP!! This was exactly what I was looking for when I made that post and I was hoping someone would see my question and crunch the numbers. It couldn't have been easy to do, since the data isn't exactly readily available in one place. I very much appreciate the effort.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the absolute first sig campaign was earlier than 2013. I remember browsing very old posts, and I stumbled across the thread where the idea to rent out signature space for advertising was floated, and I could swear it was 2011 or thereabouts. Either way, nine years' worth of data are more than enough to satisfy my curiosity.
I knew there was a drop-off from 2018 to 2020, though obviously I didn't have it represented in graph form. You could just tell from the Services section that sig campaigns were in danger of dying off, because there weren't as many new ones being started.
Again, props to OP for compiling the charts.
