Well, with the whole month of July over, and as promised, a complete roundup of the tipping pool usage by the current 8 approved boards for July, along with some overall data on 'daily rewards' given to the boards in total.

Furthermore, this is made as a "Video Thread Response" to offer a chance for board owners/lead moderators (as in owner absent etc.) to respond in how they are using their daily rewards and tipping pool accordingly. This was a prompt from Eyal in a comment made in a post in the town hall meet recently.

So, use the VTR facility if you can, or if you cannot, then comment below in this post👍

Breakdown of Daily Rewards and Super Comments from Tipping Pools only.

For July: $2186.51 were paid out to the 8 communities, of which a daily approximate $5 CPM has to be deducted from this figure using' 65/70' as $70 is the approximate value boards receive. Thus an approximate $2030.33 went directly to the 8 board's tipping pools, and the remainder paid out in CPM. (Of note: Once these amounts are converted to BBS token for payments thereto, then the figures of "Daily rewards" are reduced by 10% as the 'System fee' for $ to BBS conversion. As noted by @Daily_Update in comments🙏)

So looking at the big picture and how the tipping pools have been utilised: 

From the daily rewards, $601.28 has been distributed back to communities via 'Super Comments', thus 29.6% of the total 'tipping pools rewards' was used. 

However as a clear example from the table above, in the case of MNFTC, $60.42 by 59 tips were paid back to the team of moderators and not to the general members at $26.74 by 48 tips thus it 'skews' the actual picture of the general community receiving. Yes, all boards reserve some $$$ for moderator payments and yes the board owner also draws a wage if they wish. I highlight this for the reason of percentage: it is indeed lower than 29.6% when taking into consideration 'some' moderator tips across all the boards.

In sum, a bit of opinion:

I feel that the tipping pool isn't being used as good as it should and not enough is being given back to the community via 'Super Comments'. Yes, I am aware that competitions do run and that some boards are paying direct in BBS such as INDFAM now for the last few days, and some CPM boosts have also occurred. However, I also feel that the overall balance of what is retained for Board owners and their teams is possibly too much compared to what is given back to the community in general; I personally would like to see @50% via Super Comments going back to the 'Partners' and 'Non-partners'. I do fully understand that Board owners and moderators need their slice of the pie from the daily rewards, but I think their slice is a bit greedy and is part of causing this disinterest by members and the general downturn we have seen on BBS throughout July. Just IMO😎

Respond by VTR as a board owner/lead mod or others comment in this post below🙏
