I Finally Found a Down Side to Yupp

I am very much a fan of Yupp (that is an affiliate link -- if you join, I get some Yupp credits).

It works like this: You ask Yupp a question, and it shows side-by-side responses from two different AI models. You choose which response you consider more useful, and say why (by clicking on pre-filled tags and optionally writing a comment), and you receive credits. You also consume credits by asking the question, but you spend less than you earn (I do anyway, but I don't do a lot of image generation queries, which cost more).

Now, in theory, you can exchange the credits for cash. At least some people can, and I appear to be one of those people.

If you are allowed to "cash out" credits, you get $1.00 per thousand.

I noticed a few minutes ago that I have 20,000+ credits accrued, and thought "hey, I wouldn't turn down ten bucks right now, and I'd still have 10,000+ credits left."

Then:


Since I see no point in spending 30 seconds, and giving them my payment information, just to get a whopping one dollar sent to PayPal, Venmo (which I don't even use) or a debit card, I guess I'll just let my credit balance grow (or, perhaps, spend more credits on generating images).

But it's still a very useful thing.
