This is the stream - it's a live feed.

The average value of an hour of your life is about $50. This is factoring in higher pay later on in your life (also known as deferred wages), which is achievable only if you are a diligent worker who grows skills earlier on in life (20s->30s).

How many people are in that screenshot? 100? 200?

Let's say 150. And let's say the NTOV crawl goes on for 5 hours.

150 people x 5 hours = 750 man hours spent in NTOV crawl during US working hours

750 man hours at a rate of $50 per hour = $37,500

No joke guys. The NTOV crawl has cost the raid force almost $40,000 collectively. Perhaps more if you factor in the impact of being a degenerate raider during normal business hours*

If the value estimate of $50/h lifetime average seems high, it means that you have probably wasted so much time that you're average $/h is below the median of an American.

Next time you spend your hour staring at a screen, ask yourself: "was that really worth $50?"

The cost of that hour is even higher if it is during normal business hours.

Praying for yawl

(this post cost me about $5 to make.)

*Stipulations, of course, must be made for Euros and other foreign time zones. However this is a small minority of the server.

$50 per hour x 40 hours per week x 52 weeks per year = $104,000

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the median wage for workers in the United States in the fourth quarter of 2017 was $857 per week or $44,564 per year for a 40-hour workweek.

You're a little off in your assumption that $50 per hour is the median of an American.

getting a report that the current pop of this raid is 240, which makes my former estimate dramatically low.

Really concerned about this population of adult individuals.
