@andytherbg, There are many people here that work very hard on their content but their quality of content isn't worth much. But quality, besides proper grammar and formatting is so subjective. If a whale wants to support their favorite artist, as this is the system we have on Steemit, they have a right, it's their power to do with as they wish.

In the old days, when the monarchy ruled the world, those who had talent and many times connections were picked to produce art and music. As an artist without a benifactor you would starve to death, back in the feudal days.
