thanks for the kind words @monadnock. It's still sort of bittersweet for us, because it spanned over so many years, with so much effort put into it, especially in those early years. But life goes on, and better models come along, which is what makes the STEEMIT model so revolutionary.

Over time, I also expect that YouTube will sadly continue on its downward spiral. Hopefully for them, they'll see the "error of their ways" before it's too late. However, I certainly won't hold my breath on that...
