Does anyone know a simple explanation I can tell my friends why they get money with an upvote and where does the money come from?

I just say try the platform, and don't think about how the whole system is working!!!  have fun and try to give feedback to what people spend time on it. but each one is asking the same question.


Thx for letting me know... and if not then i won't explain it anymore and they decide themselves if they want to join.
