thanks.....nothing really has changed, as I still work my ass off, and think still that i have nothing. That is the edge.

Yes, I also believe that is your edge, because you still push as if you haven't made a dime yet. You still have a "I got nothing to lose" attitude that keeps you genuine instead of catering to the whales so you can get away with posting low-quality crap for bot votes. That's a great edge really, and it's freedom. Might be nice to get multiple whale votes again, but you don't "need" them.

Nice by reading other people's replies I am starting to learn more and more!

Yes, unlike other social platforms, you can learn a ton sometimes from the comments section on many of the posts.

the dolphins of today will be the whales of tomorrow.
The minnows of today will be the dolphins of tomorrow.
I always try to re-aim for the minnows, and try to create something of value, that can help or entertain.
