I've seen similar comments for almost 12 months. All versions of "It's not fair! They are making more than me! No one sees my posts!" You're new here, so it's understandable. I was also a minnow, plus I invested some of my own real money early on. Then I continued working hard to build a following by providing valuable content and seeing the good things here instead of just pointing out the bad. I agree, if you stick around and continue to add value, you will be rewarded. As for me, I'm not interested (yet) in following you because the negativity so far displayed doesn't interest me. It may interest others.

The upvote for your own post is imo considered as a reward from the blockchain whereas the upvote on your comment is more like laughing at your own joke.

I see that as a subjective opinion, as you said. It's just an opinion.
