Hey, man, it's a lot work for three steem a week, or whatever I end up receiving for my efforts. Now, STEEM hits $1,000 USD, I'm changing my tune, but at $0.94 USD, not so much.

Well, I don't know if there's really much choice but to see past the money. Most people who are participating aren't receiving anything, yet they still do it. I'd be pretty hypocritical not to look at the good it's been doing for me and how I feel it's helping the platform and solely concentrate on the rewards.
