Giving you a follow now, @englishtchrivy's comment on his reward got me here and I have to say it's been quite a ride for you.

It's nice to see how much you have invested into the platform so to speak.
It's always hard to keep going ,but you seem to have found everything you need to keep you sharp and ready.
Great to know that you made the trail, I'm having some issues with the autovoting, but so far it's nice to see a token going to the unknown authors so to say.
A dollar is a dollar after all, it would be best if it was a actual trail of people going by their choice, ie. post of what you like and then people can go over and see for themselves, that way at least authors will get views as well as votes, but I'm not very technically savvy ,so I can't imagine a better way that is as easy as the one you have developed.

it's also nice to see that the hardships are the same for everyone, even for experienced writers. Good luck on your projects , thank you for supporting and growing the community and best of luck in the future :) !
