That is quite an impressive amount of steempower > keels over and faints... It is sometimes a bit depressing how little things get seen here in the beginning especially one sees some of the crap (meaning plagiarised and stolen stuff and really shitty 3 line of nonsense content ) that gets high up votes. Still I try not to get discouraged and just keep on going. Thing is it is not really about money for me, sure it would be nice but it is not the driving factor for me. For me it is engagement, I never monetised my ex youtube channel and most of the things I have created in my life were under creative commons. What really means something to me is people seeing my stuff and discussions ensuing from it, if I have to chose between getting paid and having people comment and connect I will take the latter. Sometimes I feel like the invisible girl here and I am trying not to feel ungrateful because I know that I have actually been really lucky on a few posts but I can’t help pouting over posts I worked hours on and no one sees them …sigh …yes I am feeling sorry for myself - LOL
