Don't worry about the trending page and who has how much money on their posts. We can still make this place beneficial for more people. Let's do this!
I can't say my enthusiasm for this site isn't a bit deterred when I see a couple of new users show up and they earn 13,000 and 15,000 on a single post, but that is exactly why I do everything I can to avoid the trending section. It's so easy to get dismayed when your posts garner less than a dollar and others make four and five digits. I'm with you all. Let's get each other some more SP so we can start making some spare cash!
Any SD I earn from votes on this post will be exchanged for steem and powered up so I have more SP for the next time around.
Also, because this is my post and I can, I'm going to put up a link to a post I submitted yesterday that didn't get much attention. I don't know if it was the time of day or just not a topic people are interested in, but here it is: I've found something worth dying for. (My Christian non-violence support of the non-aggression principal.)
