You're right @dickturbin. It's a tough pill to swallow. Especially putting your heart and soul in a post only to get rewarded just pennies.
But as @bozz alluded to sometimes it's who you know. I think that sounds cliche but it's true. And it is what it is.
I know I have felt your frustration many times. My posts are hit or miss and it's god awful frustrating sometimes :(
Resteemed and Followed
I'd love to be proved wrong but three years down the line with 2090 posts under my belt a Rep that's only 58 (I've seen people leap into the '70s after just a few months) and $19 in my account I have to say I feel justified in bitching like a four-year-old. LOL

@dickturpin can I ask you something...how much have you commented on other Steemians' Blogs. Alot ?? Moderately ?? Not much at all ?? Because a rep of 58 just does not make sense with your credentials and the years you have put in here. It should at least be 65 or more. Something does not add up. That's the main way I gained a Rep and some Upvotes from bigger peeps is by a lot of good, quality commenting
EDIT : Okay I checked Steemworld and I think this could possibly be your answer :
@dickturpin = 1,544 Comments
@bozz = 14,299 Comments
@robertandrew = 8,251 Comments
@steevc = 35,029 Comments
Maybe I could be wrong. But I can tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt an abundance of good, quality Commenting on other steemians' blogs has helped me tremendously in gaining traction on this platform. I bet @bozz and @steevc would agree

I think I'd need to be unemployed to spend that amount of time commenting on that amount of content. I tend to comment on good quality stuff rather than just commenting for the sake of it. I also do a hell of a lot of resteems lots of times without even making a comment so I wouldn't exactly say I am or was a bad community member? Maybe you're right. As per usual, it's all my fault? At least, that's what the wife tells me most days. LOL
