That's a very interesting way to look at it. In fact, it makes me wonder if perhaps I am not interested in anyone other than myself, because I lost the desire to go looking for good content on here quite some time ago. It's somewhat paradoxical though, because the reason I want to create content is to help others, so clearly I do care about people other than myself. But, I suppose I am becoming more of a creator and less of a consumer, and so there isn't much of a place for me here anymore if reading shit you don't want to read is required.

I get what you are saying. I wouldn't say it is required, but if you are going to be a content producer (only) it is on you to find some way to drive traffic to your blog. Posting content (even if it is good) and just waiting for people to come to you doesn't cut it (in 99% of the cases at least). It isn't really specific to Steemit either. If you created your own website, whether it be a blog, or some other site that people would use for some purpose - the website will just sit there with pretty much zero traffic unless you can find some way to drive people there. On Steemit, there is the benefit of already having a large number of users using the platform. The challenge is how do you get them to notice your stuff? Seeing as it is a social platform, being social is generally the recommended approach. It is not the only way, but if it doesn't work for you to go that route, then it is on you to find some other way to accomplish the goal of getting people to notice you.
I understand all of this. I have made my efforts, and now I am moving on. I wasn't complaining or in a bad mood. I was only explaining to the people who follow me actively. There's no need for all of this, but I thank you for the effort.
Ok, take care.
