There is no point in continuing if someone is not making any money out of it. Steemains are dedicating very good amount of time to these curated contents and if there are no rewards or we have to wait for someone's mercy so that we get few dollars or steem, then its worthless. I believe, efforts should get rewarded and these steem prices are not as I was expecting them to be. The Steem price in January 2018 was $7.5 per Steem, compared to those prices, this is like alms given to us all.
