haha The power of whales; if they don't want to give you a piece of the pie, you don't get it. I plan to keep making more and more purely with numbers. If enough people follow and upvote, anyone can make a lot, so the key is to just keep Steeming on! :)

there are other benefits to a lot of followers though outside of potential for more votes and, thus, more SBD. The ability to reach more people has helped me in growing GainingSteem.Com and has helped in furthering GainingSteem.Com's ICO for Booleancoin. A lot of orders have come from people seeing us on Steemit (EBay as well). :)
