I'm sure when steem was worth more at the time you were working tirelessly on it, it would have been worth it but such is the volatile nature of crypto and that we have to pay capital gains tax on anything over 10k earnings in the UK (or income tax if it is our sole earnings) you really need to be earning a salary from it and that's not feasible for content creators no matter how much you interact, especially if your content isn't steem centric.

The travel feed community have consistently supported my travel posts regardless of it being my first or my 40th. Great content is great content and it should be rewarded whatever your rep, length of stay on here or otherwise. And I'm not being arrogant by saying I produce some gems from time to time (the Actifit posts I've ditched for the most part because the micro blogs were only useful whilst I was travelling and a quick way to keep in contact with the platform and earn some steem) - that's what curation from great guilds does, it makes you feel more confident in your own ability and you can keep going. Dsound, curie, steempress, c-squared... (The list goes on) when you get an upvote from all these places, you feel like you're doing something right... Why does it stop for some guilds? I'm sure a 1-5% upvote wouldn't be tough on VP for regular support of vetted authors from these huge accounts?

You don't have to answer, it's just curiosity. I'm slowly building my account now, up to 2,300SP and the tribes are really helping earn extra steem as well.

I'm not going anywhere as I'm still doing this as a hobby and steem has really helped me sharpen up my own website - I'm pretty much embedded here. I've been convincing a few halfies over to steem full time from EMA and it's worked.

But if the hobby can turn in to something more then it's smiles all round. Road to dolphinhood here we go!
