Such good points, I have found the Steemit platform itself has pushed me back into exploring hobbies which I had long abandoned - like programming, and even photography.

It has been easy to let these hobbies fall to the wayside because of time, and also because I didn't feel they were paying off in value for the time I had put into them.

But here, I feel motivated to get back into them because I feel like they will be of value, not just to me, but the whole community.
