So the way this was designed, is so that the unit (answer) cost is fairly cheap (below the dollar), so that volume is incentivized.

In turn, the payout amount which is a fraction of that per unit cost was calculated to be an attractive enough figure. Such that if you don’t do this ala Mechanical Turk you get some decent extra cash out of it and if you do get very involved you can even make a salary out of it.

However, there is a dynamic algorithm that takes into account several factors primarily consistency on the quality of the answers that directly impacts each users final compensation.

Thus promoting a virtuous cycle of better content.

Thanks so much for asking and hope this makes sense!
