We've had 3 posts to web3isgoinggreat this month, with the first on the 7th. Over the past year (I counted manually but I'm pretty sure this is approximately correct):

December 2024: 12, first on the 1st

November 2024: 9, first on the 3rd

October 2024: 11, first on the 4th

September 2024: 28, first on the 3rd

August 2024: 21, first on the 1st

July 2024: 19, first on the 1st

June 2024: 23, first on the 2nd

May 2024: 18, first on the 3rd

April 2024: 27 first on the 1st

March 2024: 32, first on the 1st

February 2024: 30, first on the 1st

January 2024: 36, first on the 2nd

Considering the decrease in post frequency over the past three months and the delay to first post, I think it's going to be a slow month.

I better get a huge payout considering nobody on the PGA tour goes by the name "iger Woods"
