First and foremost thanks to you and @markmorrisjr, the #dolphinschool challenge is doing really great, am a participant and honestly am enjoying every bit of it.
As for me I came to terms with the low pay-outs, as I work towards building a quality following and am getting one or two people appreciating my content and that motivates me. I will keep building on what I have going here and when I succeed I will repay it back to upcoming plankton (even now am trying to do that with the little I have)
I just hope a whale see's your post (they will definately), hope they will take action.
