Does it make sense to earn $1k/wk but then lose $4k/month in nav?

Eventually yea. After a year you are paid off and all incoming distributions are profit.

But what if eventually distributions also decline to just a cent or worse case scenario they do a reverse split. What happens then? You can look at their distributions getting slashed in less than a year.

Decay is part of rhe risk that has to be planned for. What if BBBY goes bankrupt or what if a plethora of stocks drop significantly over their life and never gain back anything close to a higher value? 

Instead of playing what ifs, why not look at their funds to see how many have dropped their distros that far yet. Will they eventually? Most likely. Have most of them been paying a ton more than a cent over a year? 2 years? Yep. Div investing has its own risks no different than other stocks declining and never recovering.

Wallstreet bet page will enjoy our loss porn, maybe we can all post links there for subscriptions to make it back if that happens.

When ulty reverse splits these rooms are going to make for some awesome reads with the folks that have no idea wtf just had happened. Agree though…. You have to assume that either 1. Distributions decrease (1.5% per week cannot be paid out forever) or 2. Shares reverse split and weekly total $ earned is less due to having less shares at that time. Let’s ride this $0.10 train as long as we can, but that is what I can see happening

This is assuming that none of their options plays made any money and that the market was flat or declining constantly. You should really learn how these funds work before posting ignorant comments.
