You might not have to worry about much longer because if my work does not start getting $$$ I feel it deserves I'll be leaving the site...

Seriously I have put a lot of time and work in to Steemit and in to my work as well as I always do. But when I see my posts with 150 votes but at $6.00 or some of my favorite images at .24 or or a series at $3.00 I lose intereste and realize it's a waste of my time.

I went to a new years party and got the whole crowd together and pitched them on Steemit. And told them I was going to help people get started. But if this community is not going to support my work I'm over it. There is way to much whale dependence there is way too much discussion about something considered acceptable on every major site should be labeled "NSFW" on here.

If the whales want to starve me out by not upvoting my work... I'll be happy to leave because the last thing I need is to come here to be insulted by .24 on a image that was published in Playboy while mediocre posts do better because they are buddies with the whales.
