Remember that the $ sign with reward amount is not all for the author of each post, it is spit between the author and all the curators or that post. The biggest share going to the author of course.
One other point, this isn't really an introduceyourself, or a food post, so not really appropriate hashtags and it might get you flagged if this came up in a search for either of those hashtags if people were annoyed. Flagging is not good.
