As long as you are getting some value, be it money or personal worth, then all is well.

The leagues have never been of financial value to me, and I suspect that will always be the case. When you don't vote for yourself, and give out half your Steem power for nothing, you're pretty much considered an idiot by some!

That wont deter me though, and I feel a lot of personal worth for acting in a way I see as positive for many.

Cheers!
