Wow, great comment. Well #6 was just a joke, albeit probably poor 😊 actually this whole post was a joke with a sprinkle of truth baked in for good measure. *Dont worry I washed my hands first.

Now I feel I owe u a real reply to your comment..

I think we all have varying expectations for success. For me getting a dozen ppl drop by and comment is enough reward for my time spent. This post probably took 15 mins to create but it was fun so any monetary reward I recieve is just a plus. I don't watch the trending page and think my posts will have that level of success..to be fair I don't really visit the trending sections because I find that's some of the worst quality content on this site lol Managing your time online, whether here or elsewhere is crucial so I treat Steemit like any other site or like video games. I play a lil bit but try to maintain balance. Luckily I'm having so much fun on here I dont consider Steemit time wasted. I also don't try to hob nob whales just because I may recieve their upvotes, I have pride and that just feels gross to me. To each their own tho. Thanks so much for dropping by and I appreciate your reply!
