What you're trying to tell me here is that you figure your time is worth over 70% of the author's reward for adding a few images, making it look pretty and having it featured by you? Cmon now Stella. Even though you are one of the brightest here on Steemit when you start putting your own needs in front of others and making large amounts of money on other people's blood, sweat and tears I'm going to blow a whistle and make it apparent. In no way do I look down on you. I truly believe deep down you're a good soul and will do the right thing here. :) It's impressive you set up the secret writer on twitter, that is awesome! However I have to raise the question... Why are you insisting the authors of Steemit you feature now pay for your previous unmonetized efforts? Seems a wee bit short sighted from my perspective and I know you're an intelligent woman.

To put things into perspective for you a little better:

Your account is currently already valued at nearly $150,000 USD.
You can power down over the next 2 years and receive roughly ~0.91 Bitcoin worth of every week.
Assuming BTC and STEEM stayed the same price you'd make around $520 USD weekly doing NOTHING.
So assuming steady price (doubtful but used as an example) you make $2080 a month just for being you.

Making that $2080 a month with 1 dependant in the USA still puts you in the top 5% of wealthy in the world.
So already before having to even work ever again in your life, you're now in the top 5% of the wealthy elite.

Now I know you're not going to sit idle, it's not your nature. You are always doing something!

A 5%-10% off the top to feature authors articles I would be completely behind! But when you factor in SP and the 50% SBD you're taking currently the math starts to look more like you're taking a far larger chunk than most would consider fair. You're a good person Stellabelle and I know you want fairness and justice for all, I feel it.

To be honest 3 months ago I had all the free time in the world and would have snapped at the offer for a job to help you disperse the funds to their owners. Sadly these days I barely have free time at all to do anything.

<3 Stellabelle. Thank you for replying. I do appreciate hearing your side of things.

I ask you not only as a young up and comer on Steemit but also as a future witness and guardian of the Steem Network and her people, consider getting those SBD and SP you decide fair after sleeping on it back to the people whom created the content.
