You say you do not complain about your reward but, then, why would you? You tend to get tens of dollars sometimes hundreds, and only rarely mere cents so of course YOU are content. Might be a bit different if your usual reward was a few cents and not tens of dollars+. Yeah yeah yeah value is relative and if others with necessary influence do not choose to upvote that is just tough shit, I get that. But it really does make for a depressing experience to see your work go so under rewarded time and time again.

In fact, I personally think it is better to forget the monetary reward, which is nearly always insultingly low, and content myself with the thought that some people bothered to read what I post and hopefully got some satisfaction out of it.
