Very unlike those early content creators that where giving 100k+ SP without ever investing a penny and selling it all, and some slamming the door in your face on the way out.
I laughed really hard when I read the part about some slamming the door in your face as they left.
That said, I can attest to your curating efforts because I have had some big upvotes from you a few times.
To me, It's up to the talent itself to get discovered. It's not a one-way street. Get active.
I take this advice seriously and know that time and consistency will always pay off. Cheers!
