There is a difference between knowing that you are good at what you are doing and telling others that you are better than they are (and deserve the whole rewards pool).
We are all regular users (including wales), since we are all having the same rights and duties.
It´s never too late - there have been others before you who were almost leaving, then turned around and re-gained their respect. Your content is brilliant - try to put that in the focus of attention and not your ego :-) Steem on!
People are not understand this. It's never been about my ego. I can leave or I can stay. It about what I was willing to do by going out and being an Evangelist and Recruiter in the adult industry, what I need to do that, and what I must show them to get them to sign up. And showing a model that her image made $3.00 is not going to cut it, in regards to getting her to sign up. I got called Arrogant by pointing out the Obvious that these girls don't need Steemit, Steemit needs them. When it's a logical fact.
Honestly this site has become too much hassle, to much debate and taking too much of my time, with not enough reward. So I'll go back to posting only and if my post do well enough to keep me interested great if not I won't. No big deal.
I'm really sorry I ever tried to do anything more than just post as I was doing.
