@gavvet This post perfectly describes the inner conflict I'm feeling. I feel the reptilian primal part of my brain hijacking my frontal lobe. My frontal lobe keeps telling me to write great, authentic, and valuable content that will transcend Steemit. But the reptilian part of my brain is telling me to keep feeding the greed orgy by spamming Steemit with self-referential pump articles.

I'm glad that you had the discipline to tame your inner animal, to be conscious of it, and acknowledge it. This will help me immensely in taming my own and to continue to write and curate for the good of the world...not just steemit....
