This is a perfect example of proof of work.

The votes you receive are the recognition to the after-curation you had to do and the post is the report and the mean of payment.

So the community is fairly paying you back for the job.

Can't believe people is speaking about that (Especially now), STEEM has so many possibilities and is understood so differently from the perspective and reality of each different person behind the user.

We need an educational campaign it is important that we go outside the blog, this is a much richer platform than a simple web page, we need to encourage thinking outside the box, to see the potential, people working for the block chain is remunerated by the block-chain, stake-holders are rewarding your job, the same a curation group receives votes in their reports a thanks via the reward pool from a service done to the platform and that does not give curation rewards.

It would be like complain that a small part of the STEEM created goes to the witness rewards.

I reiterate my offer to donate web & server space in the chat.
And

Thanks for the hard work :)
