Most big social media platforms who make bogus income through their platforms have being rewarding their major content creators who are flooding their site with content(goods) that can easily fetch them ads. One of those platform who had timidly run away from the fact to do the trend is Facebook. Facebook didn't believe in sharing remuneration with its content creators until reality catch up with it. Today Facebook is among those who appreciate the importance of their influencers.
Nevertheless, nairaland is a big platform which relies solely on the input contents from its users. Any low spirit in the circle of the users to feed the platform will undoubtedly reduce the animation of the site and reduce the addictive pattern of the users towards it.
The previous shutdown of this site some days ago have proven my point to some extent. The past couple of days after (nairaland) coming back live have shown a distinct thing if we might all be wary of it. Nairaland of some days ago now lacks educative, entertaining, resourceful contents except informative updates.
Seun should man up and do all it will take to be formidable for the unknown occurrence of the future. There is no monopoly of operation in this field. Series of platforms might spring up to give you a run for your money tomorrow. One of the way of tieing down your users to your side are: one, continual improvement of your site dynamically, and two, giving back to content creators. No matter how small the return might be; set your guidelines and watch how interested people would work hard to get verified. In return, it would give your platform the ride of monopolistic merchandize for a donkey year.

It's a forum not a blog however admins can still update but not as much as user generated content, so it relies "solely"
