Great points. It's good to keep it positive and engage in criticism constructively. There is no need for negativity in life - I am sure we agree on this. Regarding what motivates us, however, I think you hit the nail on the head. To this I say: let those who post for pseudo positive, possibly self centered reasons go ahead and do that; maybe they are more popular on steemit or other platforms, maybe they make more money, but having been there (LOL) I find it more exciting to post content when I have something real to say and am brave enough not to give a fuck. The ideal scenario is the marriage of both of these worlds, but I guess this takes time and work. And what do I know - this is my first comment on steemit ever!!! Thanks for the thought provocation!
