Great Post, Jerry (as usual).
I was looking at this post yesterday, https://steemit.com/steemit/@emble/top-posts-on-steemit-one-year-ago-today-4-aug-24-16-top-author-payout-usd6359-to-steemdrive-for-steemdrive-first-steemit#@solarsherpa/re-emble-top-posts-on-steemit-one-year-ago-today-4-aug-24-16-top-author-payout-usd6359-to-steemdrive-for-steemdrive-first-steemit
This shows daily top posts consistently over $1,000 a day, which allowed a lot of people to gain a lot of $$ and SP.
I do like the work you and Papa-Pepper do - honest posts.
Keep doing what you're doing and the wheat will separate from the chaff.
Interesting link.
