I have been here far less than you but can relate. I can be disheartening when you spend literally hours creating content to post, only for any rewards to be relatively low. Ultimately, we did ALL come here to earn. But it is the community that keeps us here.

That is very true. This is actually one of the most common things I have to answer too.
Tons of people are asking me this, and several people are angry, sad and desperate, and many of them are calling Steemit a lottery, scam, crap or bs. Because those with money continue to earn money and most others doesn't earn more than a few cents or a dollar.
I mean, I've always said that effort, time and quality will be rewarded, at some point. Sooner or later. But it's hard to stay positive and tell them the same thing on daily basis when you spend a few seconds thinking about the time you spend and the rewards you get.. In comparision to others.
I wouldn't compare myself with whales or dolphins as they have tons of SP.. But compare yourself with a minnow. With a user who've been a member for a few weeks... - And once you do that, you realize that some of these people are getting hundreds of dollars in rewards on all their posts. Regularly. - That's kind of hard to explain with a positive attitude and encouraging words to those who're about to leave.
