I have just written a post about my "witness vote journey" and the upvotes that I get from witnesses and the others are one of the things I am thankful for on Steemit. I don't think about my frustrations anymore, instead, I look at the positive and focus on it, that's why I'm enjoying my Steemit journey.
One thing that really separates Steemit from other social media platforms is the unity of community.
This is one of those positive things. People in the community have the "Steemit Love" which makes the whole platform great and awesome as it is!!!
