You're welcome, it's my first time cross posting anything (I'm glad you think it's ok that I did it!)

I'm honored that you thought highly enough to want to. I will confess I didn't understand the concept behind it until last night. I have one who does this a lot in recent weeks in my feed, and was a little chapped last week when I voted on what I thought was the authors post and it gave credit to the cross post one instead. I'm glad after researching last night to discover the author of that cross post does indeed get the lions share of rewards. I found a post by Taraz that explained it in depth. The only part I don't understand is if it has to be cross posted to a community. I'm still pretty ignorant of this whole communities concept they rolled out without much explanation. I was made a mod of one of them on Steemit before the split and wasn't even sure what that meant, lol.

I was always thankful/honored when you would share my posts on Twitter. While I wont say rewards aren't a nice addition to writing, I've never made money doing any of this. My entire holdings are still below my out of pocket investment when I first joined Steem. Bought in first time when it was over 2.00 and again over 1.00. I used some of that though to rent delegations my first several months. I saw right away that making this work the way it should optimally meant ships rising together, and wanted to do my part to help the ships I felt kinship with rise with me.

I'm considering buying some Hive once the government stimulus starts rolling out if Ionomy allows for it without me doing absurd KYC crap.

Here in the US I know this will drag on throughout much of the summer. They passed four months worth of stimulus for the people, and are already discussing the next round for infrastructure, which means the 5G crap will be funded for the areas the hermits live in.
