I also don't think about the payouts. I think of it at a general sense that Steemit is a social media platform that is not managed by huge corporations whose primary aims are money. I think more about our community 'cos that's what being valued the most here. Not the money. Not Steemit Inc.,, but the community.
I'm looking forward to learning more from you, papa-pepper. :)
Very valid perspective. There is a lot more here than money, the money is just a bonus.
I totally agree.
