Thank you for your thoughtful comment and for your analytical feedback, @irishidentitaire. :) I finally understand what you meant by the 'free meal' after rereading your reply twice hehe..not sure exactly how to calculate the earnings, since I've noticed they do fluctuate over the 3 days I've been here depending on supply-demand ratio in the steempower pool (correct me if I'm wrong) and the author receives 75% of the reward, I believe..rather excited to see what actually enters my 'wallet' during the payout. ;)
