GREAT POST.
You are tottally right. Join with steemit not just to get coin. We try to be ourselves. I meet many good people and make good relationship and support each other.
When the small payout value actually makes us tested, whether we will consistently make a work or stop to wait for the writing season?
For me writing is seasonal. We must continue to struggle to create quality and original work. We are taught to be ourselves and not to steal the work of others.
If I stop from steemit and then still online with other platform, it is same with wasting time. in steemit we can invest our time, passion and creativity. Everything is about quality. So why we stop from steemit just cause low pay out?
