I want to be clear, this is not a complaint. For all of you that make this list you should be very happy. I am about two weeks shy of one year on steemit, and even though I am at REP 57 and would not qualify for this, I still would not qualify even if I was at REP 49, on all those criteria above.
The most votes I think I have ever gotten, and this is very recent was 148. So I would be out of running on vote count. for sure. The most comments I have gotten, well I could be close on that, I have had a few post that got a few comments one or two may have even been in the 30 comment range.. As for "Post" pay-out, I am way way out in left field on those, not even in the ballpark.
I am happy for those that can and have reached the levels above, but for those of you like me, in the overall scheme of things it is whether you are having fun on steemit. If you are, then you are a winner, pretty badge or not.
