"It's not about the money"... - same to me, but if someone has the possibility to get a reward for his great work, his knowledge and the experiences he made and for the passion he shares to a community like steemit is, than the hell this payout should go the creator of this content himself and not to the "Suckerbegrs" in this world, earning billions on our back by stealing our freedom of free expression... - of free speech just as they like.
I've never been on a social platform before and I didn't regret for one lil second to jump onto the steemit train!
No trolling. Every made reply serves the creator to improve his skills even further, it's like gas for the car, like a breath for a man because every single one of us needs some positive return to flourish the best he can!
Keep on doing your great and inspiring work!
Really well said my friend!
