Nice work on the big payout. I have never gotten anywhere near that. But for me it is not about the $, although it is nice. It is just about sharing stuff that interests me and hopefully others also.

It hasn’t been about the money for me either- honestly, I stumbled upon Steemit looking for crypto info and decided to make an account because google kept taking me here. I decided to start posting myself and after entering the supernatural writing contest- my post did exceptionally well and earned me that payout...well not for another couple days technically.
I’m just happy to have some recognition and an audience to read my material. I wanna be heard more than I want to make money- I won’t deny that I feels good though.
Enjoy your success mate, I know I would. I got a little buzz this morning when I saw one of my posts was at $17, lol. But it is more interesting to me to see what people are writing, view their posts, enjoy the photos, learn things, engage with people all over the world. Those are the things that keep me coming back. I enjoy comments people make on my blog, so do not engage with bots. I am sure I could improve my payouts if I wanted to, but a bot auto voting is no measure or gauge of the value of what you have done, to have individuals engage with my posts is my measure of whether it is successful.
Unfortunately Steemit is set up in such a way that even valued post are not directly correlated with how much they make. You can write a brilliant post that isn’t seen by a soul because you’re minnow and have too little a following.
Bots are nice because they propel your post up into “see-able” territory.
I use bots because they help my hard work get a view or two...
Just my opinion.
And fair enough too.
