Interesting read. I will continue to blog, and I will continue to vote, and yes, I will continue to comment, as well. I can't say that I have earned much at all (about $0.09). I am not here for the money, but perhaps it will be a nice bonus down the road. I do like that STEEM is essentially an incentivized social network, and in the end, I think (and hope) that it will result in higher quality content.
