Trying to understand the subscriber rewards

It’s just a portion of the subscription fees going back to the subscribers, so you only profit from it when people subscribe in later periods? Isn’t that literally a ponzi scheme?

(Not trying to dunk, genuinely curious)

Thanks for the reply! I’ve read the docs before asking, that’s how I came to my initial conclusion 

Will reply to your other comment in more detail

1) creators have the option of allocating a percentage of revenue into an onchain pool (eg 10%)

2) the earlier + longer you subscribe = the greater your share of that 10% pool (eg a percent of a percent)

3) as the pool grows, the value of your percentage does too

What made me think ponzi:

Let’s forget about the amount I pay to the creator for a moment and focus on the SubRew pool

How do I earn? How long I sub for does nothing if everyone subbed in the same period. I only get more than what I put in if some people subbed in a later period than me.

its literally just onchain rev share w/ an early bird multiplier. functions as a discount most of the time, unless there's a sub w/ extremely high growth 

curious: what about rev share made you think 'ponzi'? the multiplier?

if there were no multiplier for being early would you still think ponzi?
