such a nifty idea about how to take your earnings and put it back into your content and in a way back towards the community. i really commend you in the sheer thoughtfulness of this post, making it into a video, and describing why you're doing it. it really shines through. truly - it inspired me. theres this youtube artist and content creator i follow - her name is Aly Spagnola, and she has a Patreon account to support her content and videos (https://www.patreon.com - if you've never heard of Patreon definitely check it out! if you have an audience its a great way to fund your art and to give them a place to connect with you and each other - but only helpful if you have a following first :) something i aspire to with my art:)) - anyway , she did this amazing thing where she gave away over 200 original pieces of artwork to her Patreon community (every single one that asked for one got one!). Even Amanda Palmer uses it! because its really authentic - you give away your art and those that love and support you do that by chipping in because they want to give you support. it becomes not about the money. against the status quo of "you give me X money, you get X in return", and more about acts of gratitude and thoughtful gestures. you didn't have to use your steemit profits to buy equipment. you could've put it towards a fancy car, or jewelry or something totally for you, but you didnt. and i think thats really something powerful about this community. (i think the burner in me is coming out lol ;p)

anyway, loved this. and when i get there, i am acknowledging here and now that i have every intent in following in these steps. taking notes in my steemit Bible ;)
