Thanks @knircky likewise, thanks for your comment although in "There are investors in the site which creates value that steemit is able to pay out to..." -> I'm imagine people asking.. "but who are the investors? and how did they get there? so they are making money with other??" -> :) that's why I try to keep is as clean as possible keeping out variables that may lead to deception.
Cheers!
Yes keeping it simple is important.
