Yes, a host might make 100m a day. Do you know how long it took to make that? It is different every day. It's annoying for me to see people posting things like this because they have no idea sometimes how much effort goes into making that.
Think about this : After 6 hours of merching, you made 50m. Would you want to give back 25m to fagex? No! You worked for that 50m and you deserve to enjoy it and NOT be called greedy for wanting to use your own money for what you want. Sort of same thing here. The difference is hosts DO give back a lot of their earnings already through daily drops/giveaways ingame and on forums along with a monthly fee to pay for huge drop parties, scams, big giveaways etc. Don't call hosts greedy because they might want to enjoy some of what they earn. You would do the same.
EDIT : Also, doing drop parties doesn't help with getting betters. Maybe 1% of the people will stay for more than 10 minutes after a drop is done and it does nothing to help.
EDITx2 :
After reading this post it seems like you are mad because you saw a host make some money and thought hosts should give out more cash so you can make some money. If you were truly trying to help and had an idea you wouldn't have brought up the part about hosts being greedy etc.
About your edit x2, I didn't really see hosts making ALOT of money compared to other day so don't accuse something like that unless you have something to back it up. If after 6 hours of merching I had to give 25m back to Jagex, if it was their policy I would gladly give them back 25m, you know why? I'd still have 25m left and it would be me keeping with their policy.
Your Edit x1 is wrong actually, if there were regular timely drops there would be a new flow of people coming in, if drop parties did nothing to help as you claim I'm pretty sure Andy wouldn't collect "dp fees" for a reason.
I do look at it from your view but I don't think you see what you just typed, you made 100m a day, I'm pretty sure that took less than 24 hours to make thats why its a day and that amount of money in that amount of time is excellent for anyone.
@Jax Maybe if Christina changed it to advertisers dont help get betters I'd see what she's saying. In w2 before Cora walking through I don't pay attention to those annoying adverts, I look where there's a commotion and try to join it.

pretty sure we dont make over 15B all together per month
How much you guys make varies with whatever you guys decide to do with it, sometimes it could be higher others it could be lower but not by too much.

Okay, then I do not agree with that. The fees at the end of each month are called "dp fees" for a reason - they are used for dps. They're partially used for scam cases, too. Also, some hosts aren't as active as others, and some are completely inactive (me, for example), so it's not that easy for some of us.
Ah, 100m collected from around 30~50 hosts per month to do a 100m drop a week, sometimes I even see hosts pay out of pocket (correct me if I'm wrong, Andy may have given them money to do it without me seeing it).
But the main thing of what I'm saying is still not being addressed, I was saying hosts should try giving Andy an extra 10~15m (if it's too much for you poor souls maybe 5m) to produce a bigger weekly or maybe do a daily drop party at a fixed time.
