Hey @matt-a I don't fully understand.

First of all, I'm not claiming these quotes are mine, and yes though I used to write full blogs here on steemit, that content was absolutely better, and I'm returning to that as of the end of october, there are some people that are enjoying these quotes to get their day started.

Second, I use some of these services here on steemit to promote my posts because otherwise nobody ever sees them, it is so hard for anybody to find you on steemit if you don't promote the post.

However I did not pay myself $200 on this post of course. First of all due to the 75% - 25% you get only 75% and I also paid like 140 steem for promotion. So I maybe earn $3 or $4 on the post. I do not know why that is so bad.

However if you can explain, please do.

And again, of course I would rather go back to producing my regular content but I still have to work too much until end of october before I can pick that up..
