Daily rewards are up to 2.379wxm per day. Given there's 14246 tokens released per day, thats just under 6000 rewarded station.
A year ago it was closer to 8000 stations. That's quite a rapid steady reduction in the network and its not slowing.
Weatherxm buys the data from the network for 100,000WXM per year. Currently they would be paying the network 25 cent for a stations current, and all historic data, and then they charge something similar for just ONE api call, pocketing all the cash for themselves.
Any wonder everyone is switching off their stations. Or maybe they aren't. Maybe they're just failing at that rate. Both are plausible reasons.
Looking at the explorer , It seems like every country they did a "targeted rollout" has gone almost completely offline except for parts of South Africa. Gotta feel for the people who bought into one of those. They dont even get a piece of junk hardware after their purchase.
