Hey @papa-pepper thanks for sharing your experiment.
It's an interesting look at why people are here isn't it?
If you're happy to write content on Facebook for free, but not happy with small payouts on Steemit, then you really need to look at why you are here.
And you having a separate account to see how you will fare without any of your fame is not a new thing. writers and musicians do this sort of thing all the time. Stephen King is a good example.

I firmly believe that quality will always win in the end. It may take a long while, but if you concentrate on quality the results will come. And you my friend, are the definition of quality. ;-)
