I recently ran into @paulmp one of whose images was published in National Geographic. He's an Australian professional photographer. The post with the NG photo earned less than a dollar. At the same time, we had crap like the cruise video immediately after HF 21 bid botted to Trending. A testament of the total failure of PoB on Steem prior to HF 21. Now @paulmp's posts make decent money. He's been to Trending twice.
