There is a lot of great info in this comment, but seriously this might be the most important:
And while everybody is responsible for their own account you can't do it on your own!
To many people think that just because they started an account and post their idea of great content that they should be earning on their posts. But they have forgotten a very important part of this whole deal, it's called Social Networking. If you aren't trying to build a social network then you are never going to have long term success.
Oh and just cut/paste this over to a post and polish it up a little. It's gold!
Will think about it!
It is not as much that people do believe that the money flows in, people are always looking up and never down. People do forget where they did came from and envy the ones who do have more. I do see a lot of accounts getting upvotes from the army of @fulltimegeek, While I do want to be on the list, I do find it great for the ones who are getting a visit from the army. So in stead of envy these upvotes, I do appreciate what he is doing and I am sure that the ones who are getting these did deserve them one way or the other.
I do follow some small red fish accounts, who visit my blog frequently and I do support them. Not via giving upvotes on their comments (would be crushing my VP) but to give then frequent upvotes on their postings. If they grow, I will grow. That's my plan of attack. Appreciate the ones above and below you!
Cheers,

You know I am all about supporting those who have small accounts. My new effort with @minnowbuilder is an attempt to build an army of Minnows and give everyone the opportunity to support curated redfish that we are supporting while at the same time earn a daily upvote in return for their support. It's a win-win for those wanting to support the growth of the little guys.
As we grow more minnows I fully expect that they will then be the supporters of the new redfish we are supporting.
We all should. Like I wrote to you many times before and I cannot do this enough.
It is great what you are doing for the community!
Thanks for that!
