Agreed @papanog. Steemit is like an ocean, so much to learn from others experience. I get new recipes, tips and even valuable reviews from other Steemians postings. The money is just a bonus if people upvote. I think people feel that effort should always equate to value and in this case, since they are on a platform that pays them when they contribute, they expect to get it always. Its all about setting the right expectation so you dont get disappointed.
