I still have hard time understanding how 300 SBD became 75. Your normal vote without their support gets about 10 but when they vote, it gets from 40 to 60.

That's just incorrect. Here are some of my other posts of last month without any @sndbox support at all (27$, 40$,40$). The one with 10$ was just the winner announcement of a giveaway.

Speaking for myself, I'm happy to be part of this group to get help and support for several projects, I want to realize, like my @creative-commons initiative, the crowdfunding of the printed version of a webcomic called Phill from GCHQ, my incentive to bring about 2k video and film editors from my Avid Editing facebook group to Steemit and organizing several meetups in my area.

I'm also supporting other members of the group with their projects and I'm trying to curate some good content for the @sndbox-alpha initiative, which upvotes content outside the sndbox incubator.

Although there are sometimes rewards at Steemit, which are hard to comprehend, I try to focus on the positive effects, Steemit had on my life. For example I always wanted to be an artist, but only through Steemit I've got the appreciation and feedback for my creative work, that I missed all the years. I've never found a more welcoming community online before and I'm pretty sure, that everybody who follows his passion has the chance to succeed here in the long run.
