Hi there @artywink! Thanks so much for your comment... it's good to know there's plenty of people other than myself who feel the frustration and are now taking more time to support each other. When I first joined in Aug 2016, newbies got really lovely welcome messages from lots of other bloggers. It was a 'done thing' to give a hearty welcome and encouragement to people just starting out. You got a real sense that you were appreciated - not just what you wrote about, but the person you were. Now it's like a popularity contest, and if you're not showing off, you don't get much attention. Not very pleasant. I just hope that together, those of us who sincerely care about community not just rewards, can pull Steemit out of the mire and back into the sunshine!!! (ooh I quite like that line hehe!) Keep at it and don't abandon Steemit... I want you and other new people to see it when it's at its best! I hope hope hope that you do!!!
thank you@woman-onthe-wing for those encouraging words. to tell you the truth , I was about to call it a day. but I won't give up I believe there are really and truelly good people out 5here in Steemit , we just have to stick together and support each other. Thank you once again much appreciated.
Oh yes yes yes, there are still stacks of good people on Steemit @artywink, and when you come across more and more of them over time you will be glad you stuck around I promise! In fact, today I have been pondering a post I want to write, to show what Steemit used to be like a year or so ago, and why it's so special, because it really was/is. I think we can capture that vibe again with a little effort, especially those of us who remember the beginning and that's why we fell in love with Steemit. And I fully intend to do my part in helping the community to balance again, however I can! I have a few ideas :-) Please stick around, it's worth it for the times when Steemit soars, trust me!
Thank you @woman-onthe-wing for the encouragement. I will hang in there. most definitely. I am finding my way round the platform. yes there are so many beautiful people out there. getting to know them and try to encourage them too. thank you for being who you are . a caring person.
:-) Aw, you make me blush! Thank you! :-)
