I think it's fair to say that @curie is one of the 3 things that keep me on this platform (the other two being @teamaustralia and @comedyopenmic).
It's not just the money, but that made a difference to me. This is not because there weren't other ways I could earn $100. It's because I've come from a situation where my writing was accepted into a range of publications, not one of which has ever directly paid me a cent!
@curie deserves our upvotes, any delegation we can spare, and our witness votes. That they are at the bottom of the top 20 at the moment is a travesty - they should be much higher.
