It is almost like a person has to realize what the game is here and to to succeed at it the best they can. It is hard to not get pissed off though when you spend a lot of time on a post and it doesn't get a good payout. It is the same way on YouTube. Some of my best videos got 1/20th the views as stuff that was just drama related BS about Bitconnect.

I hear you man. I do get frustrated .But like you say it is part of the game so I know for me to bitch and moan is futile. I just soon put my nose to the grindstone and move forward.

I do think we need to call stuff out about some of these inequities. The more we do it the more people will rethink about doing it. I mean when you see a certain 'cat" here putting up a meme to congratulate another Steemian for using a bad Bot ( and penalizing them) but in the process Upvotes himself and gets $95 for a simple comment....well that is a huge problem and plain abuse, imho.

I know when I reach a certain level I am going to make it my Cause and mission to hang out with some plankton/minnows who have lots of potential and some talent and support them. And always try to do the right thing to make it better for everyone !!

Btw, I appreciate you Brian in helping me out and supporting me as well as a few others have. It does not go unnoticed....thank you. I will pay it forward :)
