Very good 'from the heart' post. I have been hete a year, have put in a lot of work but have finally decided to power down and call it a day as it feels like rape everytime I see the same cabal voting themselves to 3 figure rewards for 2 or 3 times a day when quality posts by new Steemians go by unnoticed. I am going to do a final post highlighting some of these contradictory standards in the near future...
