If Steem never does well financially, I feel my time spend here still holds value
Hopefully more people feel that way (who stay) For me...I find value in the ability to express what I'm feeling at any given time, and in a way I like through written words. Having some eyes on what I write and responding in a positive way is a bonus as far as I'm concerned.
FUCK the naysayers!!!! Let'em rip all they want; it's their choice one way or the other :>)
I think most of us who feel that way will stay. :)
