I'm glad you did decide to become part of the "Mad House" in the end, @lilacse! On the surface, it can definitely seem like a lot of "work" to fill community expectations and guidelines... but the "bigger picture" is that in a "gift economy" like Steemit ultimately is, you have to be ready to give in order to end up with the benefits and success you're hoping for.
This was a lovely post, seeing PHC through the eyes of someone newly arrived!
Thanks for the compliment <3 and yes, it's a gift-based economy...that means there is no "we're going to get rich" or something like that, but everyone gets something else great in return!
Glad you liked the post~
