I know it wasn't really drama, but it caused a lot of jealousy and stood out in my mind from the early days. How could a makeup tutorial earn $40,000? That seemed to be talked about for a while.

the reason it did was because in the early days of Steemit, it was a nerd sausage party. There were like 3 women on the platform: myself, @gardenlady, and a couple other women who don't even want to say that they are female. It was a male nerdgasm party, and when @guerrint made that first makeup tutorial, all the nerd-men went nuts. There were no makeup tutorials on Steemit, so it marked a turning point in possibly mainstream adoption around the corner. That's why.
And that post about releasing balloons into the sea. More pollution for us!
I just checked and @guerrint, the "makeup girl" has not posted in 5 months. She left Steemit.....
I went and looked at her profile. After the post payouts started to decrease, she just powered down and left. So much for someone who is 'supporting' STEEM haha
