💰 Premium/Super posts on Phaver don't refund their price! 😡

A lot of Phavarians feel this way, and they're right. Personally, I've never earned more than 50/500pts on a Premium/Super post. But here's the thing — isn't that normal🤔?

If posting in Super always guaranteed a full refund in points, everyone would do it, making the system meaningless.

To understand the reason behind Normal/Premium/Super posts on Phaver, let's compare them with what we know on other platforms such as Instagram, X or YouTube :

  • Normal Post ➡️ Just like the standard posts made by 99% of users on those platforms—no rewards, just sharing content.
  • Premium Post ➡️ Similar to when a creator turns on monetization to earn money from their posts.
  • Super Post ➡️ Like paying for an ad boost on IG—you're buying visibility, not guaranteed returns.

On platforms like Instagram, companies pay to promote posts, knowing the visibility is the value—not direct revenue. Phaver works the same way. You pay for reach, not for a guaranteed point return. 📈

Correct me if I'm wrong @dollowen @poolboy @saskasandholm @joonatan

    💯💯 Agree with you! There where moments that i have noticed that they were optimising the rewards bc for example a post with 50 Phaves and 70likes gave more than double the amount back than another post with the exact same amount of engagement just one day after and sadly the rewards have not been buffed yet again..

      Isn't there a way to ensure fairness?

        • Yeah, comments is definitely an important aspect of a social platform!
          But in my opinion, we need to take a step back from the problem. It's not directly the comment that have to be improved, but the reason why people come on Phaver.
          Point farming is way too strong, and people open Phaver to get points (by phaving), and not to socialise (commenting).
          To be fair, I myself open Phaver daily to spend my 20 phave of the post that will earn me the most points. I do not come to enjoy the content, and phave the post I like.

            if I compare X with 6088 followers with phaver .. and then a premium post . I get the same number of likes approximately . with a super post I get around 80 likes on a message. I get that on X but the same with 6100 followers if I do a giveaway. so for me the super post has value even though I don't get the points back. more people see my content. I do notice that messages that go to phaver or utilities about phaver do better than regular messages about other things, in general. you see that a lot less on X or instagram.

              They pay in network effects.

                I agree with you on this, and it's pretty obvious that premium/super posts will never guarantee refund, which many of us know. However, I have a point to criticize the mechanics of the system. The system, even if not entirely, cannot go beyond phaving for most users in this situation. And I don't even think most of the posts are read, with the competition of who will phave first. In one of my posts, I clearly mentioned that the first three people to comment on where I was going to (and I had already provided a clue in the post) would receive a surprise gift (that would be an affordable NFT supported by Phaver). Among dozens of phavers, only one person commented, and that was a friend I was going to meet at my destination. If Phaver truly wants to be a functional social platform, this system definitely needs improvement. Otherwise, it cannot go beyond phaving for many users, unfortunately.

                  I have made several super posts only one time it made "Profit" so I agree with you.
