This is so fucking true. Yes, it hurts to make less on quality posts. I used to get very angry about this too at first, but I also came to realize making little really is better than making none.
And like you said, what if I leave, i go back to Facebook and Twitter where I post contents and make nothing whereas the corporate mf make everything? Hell no.
I'd rather start small here on steemit and wait for that time when I would have enough friends of my own. And come to think of it, two months in and I'm not doing badly. I have good friends backing me up, I belong to a commenting pod, hey I'm even hosting my first very own contest!
