There is no "Black Magic". People keep thinking that all you have do to is get the right topic, and boom, you go to the moon.

Cheetah bot has been working hard here and earned itself a reputation from as long as I can remember. We use to see cheetah multiple times a day, and cheetah would hum along and do its thing without earning a dime (none of the comments would get upvoted)

After several months later, I stumble upon this post, and it's sheer logic that cheetah would finally get awarded for the hard work it's done over time and not received nearly the compensation it should deserve.

Then someone comes along like yourself and gets excited about the payout, and eludes to "black magic". That's a complete fallacy and not a trend. Don't believe that...

As far as the "one post pennies and others thousands"... you appear to be a prime candidate to have read my post that made $299 because it will explain this further. The post is about why you should be happy if you only make 11 cents on a post -- the post itself has already been paid out. So do not consider me trying to get votes for it. But I think it will greatly explain the information you're after.
