I'm sure the cheerleaders

Will be saying the income is on the rise.

My theory is that it is probably just a cycle (oooh, sorry about that word) thing. As time passes and the income doesn't rise dramatically more and more people get discouraged and stop reading. YM/STA dutifully comes through after a while and inactivates their accounts. Then has a smaller base of people to pay out to the next week. Income jump, if you can call a few more pennies a jump.

Then the payouts start to fall again, more people get discouraged, stop reading, round and round.

But, it's just a theory.
