I get paid to produce blocks, I've done that. Whatever I do, like running one of the most popular public API nodes, creating code and services, participating in governance discussions, helping users, promoting the chain and associated services is all a bonus that I do NOT get paid for. This site alone has 10 months of git updates and only a single post about it that I'll get maybe $50 for this after the curation split. You are delusional with jealousy get over it.
