Actually, I was thinking... I normally share links via steemit.com because it has a $ next to the payout and it kinda shows newbies they can make money here.
Laymans probably don't know what an STU is. Thoughts?

I agree and we discussed about this a lot in the past. But just putting a $ sign near the payout can create the wrong expectation. Because people will expect to receive that amount of USD on their post and this is not going to be the case (curators, SP/SBD split, ...).

They don't know what STU is, but they can learn more about it. Giving false expectation will create a lot of disappointed users.

That's a fair enough point, I definitely see why that's the road you've decided to go down. What about a breakdown in the hover section?
