Hey, @gillianpearce.

It does help for a couple weeks or so, but the larger upvotes are sporadic, and sometimes they plain just don't show up. I think I'd much prefer getting between $3-$10 allocated to posts on a regular basis rather than $0.40 and then all of sudden $14 or more.

However, it is what it is, and so I can either quit because it's not worth it or I can continue because something is better than nothing and as of yet, I haven't heard of anything that is better where STEEM lacks.

Curie already came by this month. It's not often they hit twice, so I'll just have to keep pumping out posts the best I can and see what happens.

re: invested

I do know. I've kept a running tally. Coinbase, what I use to convert fiat to crypto, also has a report you can view or download. Can't remember which now, since I didn't need it. :)
