YES! YES! YES! Unfortunately I haven´t seen the times it was better here, but your observations seem to be true. I guess the moment money and big earnings come in, it brings out the dark side of humans - either they engage in school yard bully brawls or simply don´t care, are arrogant or too lazy to communicate. That´s sad and this is what makes call to action posts like yours so important! Resteemed with pleasure! Thank you!

Well then @atmosblack, I really hope you get the chance to experience Steemit at its finest! When I joined in Aug 2016 there was an atmosphere of love, support, expression and appreciation of the differences between us, and it felt soooooo good to be part of it! The rewards weren't as good (though I still earned enough to buy a laptop within 4 months, so who can complain?) but the community spirit was STRONG. Newbies were given a wonderful welcome, not just by other newbies but by dolphins, and sometimes even whales. People created logos for each other, that kind of thing, it was beautiful! Let's hope we can recover some of that, because if we carry on down this road it wont be half as pleasant to hang out here.
Then maybe it´s better to don´t tell anyone that we missed the good old days ;))
No, seriously, that sounds beautiful and I´d already be happy if the whales would stop fighting and concentrate on the positive side, supporting people with their upvote instead of flagging their foes.
I guess it´s up to us then to revive the warm and welcoming culture for newbies - Let´s do it! Count me in! <3
I will! Hooray for solidarity of nice people! hehe :-)
