Thank you so much for these words!
SteemSTEM has given me so much appreciation right from day 1 on steemit, and I probably would't have written so much about science without them - as you said, the frustration of goibg underrewarded for hard work, especially in comparison to others.
And I think that's why I'm doing a sub-curators job now despite the losses, to enable others to experience the same.
TY again, and resteemed, of course.
