What can I say? Not: write good content and you will receive a big reward. It doesn't work that way. You have to be noticed or bring along a huge investment of Steem (or do some tricks, jumping or crawling through a hula hoop LOL).
We all have our thoughts, some have ways, do things others will not do for a truck load of gold.

I agree it's not much if you compare it to many others during all those years. We spoke about it (posts, comments... giving upvotes, receiving them).

I hope the year of the Snake (creativity) will bring you something good. Starting with friendships through commenting might be a great start.

A good Sunday/week.
