I'm sorry to hear about your quitting the site. I don't like to hear that your expectation of a certain level of rewards lead you to later disappointment. This is certainly something I will take under advisement when making future platform decisions.
One thing that we're all going to have to cope with on a truly open platform are haters, trolls, and jerks. They're going to be omnipresent on the internet, and even moreso here as we somewhat cater to the underserved by the more moderated parts of the web.
I wish you well and continued success with your writing.
Best,

Oh no, I'm not quitting.
I didn't have any level of expectation of anything. Remember we spoke about it at SteemFest?
I think it is the trolls and jerks that have coloured my vision on this. The best way to deal with trolls and jerks (I've not met any haters on here) is to stop interacting with them. The way I was interacting is through my writing and posting on here. So, leaving that part out, there won't be any chance of encountering the trolls and jerks.
I'm enjoying the curation part, mentoring new users, hopefully steering them in the right directions and so avoid the aforementioned trolls, jerks and haters and make their experience that little bit better.
Thanks for your well-wishes, meeting you and the rest of the people at SteemFest was one of my highlights of last year - and it was an awesome year!
I'm still going to be around, and I'm on a couple of the chat channels too. See you around <3
