It's rather simple actually - when you are a new author and get somewhere between $0.00 and $0.10, do you enjoy the profit, at 75% for you?
Or would you rather prefer 25% out of $10, because a whale spotted your new article and deemed it good enough for an upvote?
Good point. I think Steemit is great, but the inner workings are confusing. I learn more about ot every day. Thank you.
