Is depin worth it?
The honest answer is in the numbers: the workflows above show how many people reported running them and what the median earner actually made — not a cherry-picked screenshot. Most people earn less than the headline, and a real share earn nothing. Pick a workflow, check its reported distribution, and steal the stack.
