Thanks for sharing your story @timcliff. Glad to have your stuff in my feed. From my perspective, I thought the work you put out was high quality and only took time and persistence for discovery and reward to happen. I considered your posts a staple in my Hidden Gems series when I ran it.

Just think your success happened before @curie, @robinhoodwhale, @voteinterestpool (now discontinued) and @steemplus (now discontinued as well. I think these initiatives have done alot to make content discovery and reward much better and easier.
