I have found also that I have more upvotes from comments than i do from some of my posts. it's crazy how a comment can generate so much cash when 1 of my posts only gets sometimes 0.01c.
i think the way forward for steemit is now to keep as many new steemains on the platform as they are our future.
I have started helping Rep 25 guys with a simple up vote to try and get them to stay, the only problem i have is it is worth 0.10c. I am trying to do my bit for steemit. i just wish I had some money to invest and pay the way forward for everyone.
