Excellent post. Thanks for sharing your experience.

My aim here is to contribute as much as I can. When I get involved, I go in competely. I am posting and commenting wherever I can. And you are right, it isnt about the money we each make (I havent made much which is okay) although that is a benefit you dont get on reddit, it is about the community we are developing and each doing our part to break the stranglehold that the mainstream companies have over what we read and can say.
