Hear, hear!
It's sad but let's not give up. The platform needs people like you and me. Today I changed my profile adding the following words:
'Not a whale but I love plankton.
I really feel like - and have always felt - helping out the ones below me while - of course - focusing on 'quality' content.
Have a great (rest) of the day,
Vincent
I'm definitely not close to giving up. I'm in a considerably much better off place than many on here, even when down from a $3k account to $700.
It's certainly frustrating to see a lot of smaller users produce such great content and receive next to nothing for it, though; especially when I know that I'm incapable of really making a difference to turn that around at this moment.
I'm forever stuck questioning whether I should invest a few thousand into Steem Power to somewhat make a larger difference, it just isn't great knowing that's the best option.
