Awesome stuff! Not even about the rewards, but just for the 200+ upvotes, it must be such a thrilling experience.
What makes me think in this situation is the fact if one of a person's posts does get 200+ upvotes, then I think it's a clear indication than the content is liked by many people.
So for all those people who are producing top-notch content, it's not the fact that it's not good enough to receive upvotes, but rather just lack of exposure. People need to learn the power of self-marketing, and exposure! It's powerful stuff.
This post actually just inspired me to be persistent, because in due time, with consistent hustle, people will see your stuff and like it, the way it's supposed to be! :)
