I will have to say I don't think I've ever once been envious of the reward you earn either as you consistently put in way more work on here than I can ever hope to achieve (at least currently).
I can't say that for some others on the platform that earns high rewards as they're posts aren't necessarily quality or long.
Sometimes I feel like Forrest Gump running across the US. Notice that jealousy is nearly always on result, not journey?
Some of the things I have seen here over the years are depressing. Plenty of inspiring stuff too to balance it though.
That is one thing that grinding on Steem has taught me.
Some people are just abusing the system and that frustrates me, but after putting in some serious grind, burning out, running out of things to talk about, and having to refocus my goals and times to other aspects of my life sometimes that brings in more money now.
I've noticed most content creators have put in the grind for years making barely minimum wage to make the money their making now and most of the time, instead of relaxing when they make it, they usually continue to work just as much or more.
Success doesn't come from luck, it comes from hard work. You've definitely been putting in the work.
