An excellent post. I have been working on interacting with the community over the past week, and I have been pleasantly surprised by the frequency and amount of upvotes my comments have received. Over the last 7 days rewards from comments have been 1.25 SBD + 0.30 Steem Power which is the equivalent of $7USD. This may not seem a lot but it is a good start as this is really my first week of commenting and I am really pleased with that. I am also enjoying being part of the community; where else can you get paid for having fun?
