Thanks @steemcurator01 for taking the time to stop by and comment!

I do like the idea that the "economic stimulus" can be spread around; and I certainly realize that it is a lot of work (I'm admin in a couple of Facebook groups with 11,000 and 20,000+ members, respectively) to look out for everything that happens.

The chance to get a meaningful upvote for authentic and original content is what keeps many people plugging along... if some of my earlier posts had not been "seen" it's unlikely that I would have continued here. We can look at the monetary value of the rewards, sure... but from the (new) content creator's perspective there's also the psychology of of a sense that "my content is appreciated and valued" which makes most creative types want to continue.

I applaud your voting on comments... it definitely does make a difference; in my early days there were many weeks when my rewards for leaving comments were far above what my original top level posts earned. I still upvote comments, although even with 5500SP I have to vote at 50% to get past the "dust" payout threshold... so it's limited what I can accomplish.

But hey, I keep trying!
