I don't think I've even made a Dollar on a Post. I don't do it for the Money though. It's the Community that I want to Benefit from. Being able to See other Peoples lives and Communicating with them is what keeps me going. I feel your pain though .. there is a Definite Loop that Benefits the Few. I'm hoping that I can build my own Following of Devoted Friends but it is Possible that they Will fall away from Steemit as time goes by and They become Frustrated with the Cycle. I just hope that in Time that Steemit Changes and Becomes more Rewarding to the True Value and Content Bloggers that put in Time and Effort. Who knows, it may never Happen. Sorry to see you go.
