Congratulations on reaching 1000 @apolymask! :)

This was a great post to read mate and you gave an excellent overview of steemit. I think you should be very proud of what you have achieved and the rewards you have earned even though they may be less than those of others because everything I have ever read or seen of yours has been genuine and from the heart. You write what you want to write and not what you think others want to hear and there is a lot to be said for that genuine approach when so many others are indeed scamming the system and using it only for their own benefit.
