Honestly, when I joined, I didn't read the white paper or even any color paper..and I made some mistakes and didn't fully get it...was never a Reddit user so the idea of voting or flagging was fairly new to me.

So I don't want to argue how much a post deserves, this list for me, was extremely helpful and valuable. Well put together, easy for me to quickly grasp. So yeah, the whole "is that really worth that much money" thing people get into I find distasteful. Either you come to create good shit and begin sharing what you do with others and have fun doing it, or, well, what other reason would there be that's truly a sustainable reason for anyone to stick around?

I think people who do their big "I'm leaving" post, are mostly fed up with their own conceptions they created surrounding this site. Steemit is a tool, the same way that any social media site is a tool. IMO it's a tool where I can share my art and expand my audience, and where I can bring my current audience to also help build the social movement here. It's about having fun doing stuff you love and sharing that with others, building a following, and being rewarded for it in the process.

So anyway, I digress.

To me, the original post was really an aha moment and I'm grateful, well done 🤘

Just my opinions
