    Disclaimer : This is not a complaint against Steem. These are merely the facts as I seem them to answer the above question.

    Nope, not a single downvote.

    There are several possibilities as to why I can garner nearly 200 upvotes on all post yet rarely clear $20 (which I'm thankful for) these days.

    1. My content is not geared towards the mainstream population.
    2. My boobs are not that great and I don't praise myself as being or having the #1 anything repeatedly. ;)
    3. I'm known for being saucy and speaking out.
    4. I'm not a sycophant. If you see me praising something, you'll know it's genuine.
    5. The developers and most whales likely do not have me on their follow list for the reasons above. ;)

    Fun Fact

    If not for 2 downvotes from Dan (1 for marketing Steem, 1 for making too much money on a comment) and 1 from Ned (for posting a video marketing Steem) back in May, I "may" have the #1 reputation on Steem.

    Wait, I think I just did #2 on the list above. =)

    But that's all math. I'm happy with my current top 3 reputation level because I earned it by being myself without pandering to anyone to get it or posting other peoples content to boost my account rep. ;)

    Wow, it is amazing to me that you've gotten so many followers and are getting such little compensation. I guess your content just doesn't appeal to the whales that much. Do you ever post other people's content (with their consent of course), or only your own?

      When I first came to Steemit back in May I posted some content from authors (James Corbett, Truthstream Media, Martin Armstrong, Genis Carreras and a few anarchist who run blogs) I was attempting to bring to Steemit and then offered them the rewards. Most either never responded or they simply weren't into cryptocurrency yet (Claire Bernish for example).

      In all I think around 15 post, most in May, were content from others. I posted 2 in the last month that were topics I felt people would be interested in (one was the Olympics 100m simulation and the other was the purple orb at the bottom of the ocean). That is unless you want to count song parodies, I've posted a few of those. Otherwise, the other 2,950 post I've made are all mine. :)

      Thanks for the recent up vote on my article about how whales can help drive real business value here on Steemit!

      Would you be interested in posting any content that I provide to you and splitting the rewards? I have some things I'd like to test out, and it would be much easier to see how effective they will be with someone who already has an audience. If you are interested, do you use Steemit.chat? I'm NathanBrown on their too.

        I think you would be better served both financially and publicity wise by proposing this to @stellabelle or @gavvet. :)

        I already asked @stellabelle about this and she doesn't want to post other people's content.

        I'll see if @gavvet is interested.

          If @gavvet isn't interested or doesn't respond to me, would you be open to posting some content that is focused on Steem analysis and how to help the plaform/users?
