I'm hoping, eventually, we'll get a cut of the ad revenue. The first day that ever happened, those with the interesting blogs would be generating a lot of views and potential clicks. For now we have to deal with this incredibly short attention span Steem is known for.
I think it's a bit odd to write a post that tells people to go another post. You're writing a post. May as well just make it the post you want people to see, with improvements of course, and not done so much it annoys followers.
That image you're talking about took me way too long to make, but it's always been one of my favorites. Sucks how much quality I lose when posting and viewing from Steemit. It's also a big pain in the ass converting all of my old work into just the right kind of png files I've found work best and look clear. I don't even think I could tell you which post that image originally came from. You know how I like to hide things....
