Indeed.

Like you, I am here because I love to write, share my photography, my poetry and my art, and as a privacy advocate, I sincerely appreciate that Steemit isn't datamining me for that privilege.

I'm just in one-foot-in-front-of-the-other mode. Most days I post twice, often more and occasionally only once, but I figure consistency is key, and posting real content with which people will hopefully want to engage.

Since I've been taking it seriously, my reputation and followers are steadily increasing, so I think I'm finally on the right track. ;-)
