It is always about putting in the hard work, getting your content out there and just generally enjoying Steemit with the rest of the community! I never once stopped thinking about how you need to put in the work to get the bonus incentive of rewards like higher up votes etc.
Don't stop gaming, keep gaming too much, don't listen to people saying you should cut back. :)
Precisely, gaming is a reward in itself, with steemit it just makes it so much better. I just write, and what ever comes comes, I rarely get frustrated with the rewards, I had lots of 0 payouts, hudreds at one point. Everything can happen here. RNGJESUS :)
WhaleRNG needs nerf for some people. #FairRNG. :)
Nah it is great just being able to blog about games and share that game play with others, show them your enjoyment of it.
