How do some of you have thousands of moons? (Respectfully)

I don't understand. I do a lot of reading/browsing here and the posts and comments that some of you leave aren't really any more informative or groundbreaking than the posts or comments left by a lot of the no-mooners.

Is there something I'm missing here?

I've tried the moon faucet thing but that only trickles out like 0.01 moons per day lol so I'm confused where you're all amassing them from exactly. I mean I've gotten awards on some posts/comments here and there before but it seems like no one really doles out their moons.

Not trying to moon farm, just genuinely curious if I'm missing something!

Edit - Thanks everyone! Very helpful! My findings are as follows: 1.) Shit rises to the top; 2.) Praise ADA; 3.) Go back in time and get in early; 4.) Moons can be purchased (?!)
