It's not about the money, it's about the exposure. If it was about the pie I could buy a little more Steem and only curate; that has become very lucrative and I can feel the difference even with my measly 4k VP. (Whether there is something left to curate we shall see soon enough.) Blog about what I curate on a daily basis and bingo. That could become the start to a nice little income from a hobby. "Rich" is different, I'm clear on that.
The media acct. is not my first one here. I was there for the hype; good times :-) I stuck around and kept producing content. I only quit writing and recording narration for my vids. It's a hobby, but there is a limit to working for "free" and I had to come up with a quicker format. Now I can't even push those to where they are seen... Too bad.
Let's see where things are headed.
