Takes a lot of time though..

yes sir, it does. hell, that should be the motto of this place ;>

occasional big payouts are good; I have got them and I appreciate the whales that look for content...but what will make this platform continuously rise in value is for each user to rise in value and support each other ;>

I know..I was just pointing out the obvious.
I'm too here for the long run.

no problem ;> I just tend to throw a little caution around when folks want to see the money after a week here.

The established Steemers spend some time welcoming new Steemers, which is good, but it can cause some unrealistic expectations re:earnings. Took me 10 months to earn 4k..and 90% of that value came from the recent spike in price

Enjoy the place as it is, and smile when the money eventually comes in; do the work, and it will!

Yeah I agree. Steem on!
