I agree that the presence of one person isn't a reason to leave or stay. While I don't agree with the persons views he is talking about I have never been too overly concerned with that persons payouts. There are far worse problems going on with Steemit than just that. It is a damn shame. Steem / Steemit is one of the greatest invovations the Internet has ever seen and it might not survive. :-(
The concept will survive, even if this first platform doesn't. It's still a great idea, no matter what cancers happen to taint the first iteration. I'm still optimistic and will stick around for the long game, even if it takes longer than I hoped to get the kinks ironed out :)
I agree with you. The concept will survive for sure.
But ask yourself this. If your payouts get as low as mine for the amount of time I have put in would you still post here?
Good content creators are leaving in droves.
I'll still post when inspiration strikes but I won't set time aside in my daily routine for it, that's for sure.
Yeah it isn't worth my time especially when I see sock puppets consistently making mad cash. I started my power down last night and will likely turn my account into a curration bot to upvote good content creators like yourself who I know are real and make good content and that way I won't really spend time on here except in a few situations where I want to get on and post something.
@brianphobos - That's a serious compliment. Thanks :)
I'm trying to get a campaign to vote for the same witnesses. Your opinion is appreciated!

@radioactivities - Cool. I already vote. @pharesim did a great job of explaining the world of witnessing to us on the steem smart podcast and I check-in every once in a while. I wish I could downvote/flag witnesses too but I guess we can't have everything ;)
Only time will tell.
