Sage words. I have only been here a month but have quickly come to some of the same conclusions. If you are trying to make a quick buck, this is not the place for you. I actually wanted to get better at posting in a blogging format and got turned on to steemit from a few friends. In the month that I have been here, I have seen the value of the community. Much less negativity than Facebook and other social platforms. Playing the long game keeping what you pointed out here in mind. Thank you for the post.
