Yes it is shocking, and people staying are getting squeezed more and more every year.
steemit's not my main income stream, it's my wordpress blog over at revisesociology.com
I'm going to try and increase my income on steemit - but I'm aware this could be challenging to say the lease! If I hit a regular $500/ month I'll be VERY happy with that!
Well, based on what I see in your posts, you will be getting a few cents from me, lol. Perhaps someday my vote will have more impact.
Why thanks, every little helps! And as to the later, hopefully and for all of us!
