I understand your feelings. Unfortunately, when you have a larger and larger group of human beings that's what happens: everybody does their own interest and quality goes down by the minute.
And let's be honest, most of us are here for the money.
What I can't stand is these steemians that have a bunch of steem power, they buyed with their own money, and start bullying people around and having an army of "fans" following them while producing horrible content.
Money was part of the reason I joined too. I need it as much as everyone else. But, I am sick of earning it in ways that make me lose respect for myself, and so I will not.
You would be interested to know that a lot of the whales on here did not buy their STEEM, but mined it using a computer and a little electricity .
Ok, thanks for the info. Have a nice day, and maybe we'll meet again on steemit or on other platforms.
