The graph makes it look like about 1% weekly growth is normal, for a team of people grinding out content (posts and comments), when a $5000 initial investment was made. That seems pretty bad.

More people need to know about this awesome project! Again this week I have: read upvoted resteemed commented Let's get this post to the $10 payout range <3

It's slow growth, but at least it's positive. You've lost 99% of your purchasing power, but you have way more STEEM now than when you started. Look on the bright side.
