Engaging is how you build your freinds (foundation) The votes you receive will not amount to much but over time the other newbies will grow and then you can think of or receive your rewards. until then suck it up , have fun and build a family

If I looked at the amount of time I spend on a daily basis and compare it to my rewards and it would make two grown men cry. But I have a following because I am a follower , My name (brand ) is recognized. It will pay off in the long run because I am not taking now and using it for greater purpose later at a much higher rate. (compounding interest)

The only thing that matters is engaging and the only measure of it is the vote count not the payout , Rep, followers or whales
