Yes there are a lot of FUD-gsicles around here! Glad you still have your eye on the prize. You can drop in and drop out as often as you like because you have an authentic voice as an artist that will always be valued on the blockchain. Good idea to get a return on your stake when you are less active that's one of the major benefits of holding Steem Power and will help to immunize you from catching da FUD... ha ha!
I passed on "FUD-gsicles" and someone else is going to start using it. For realz though, when a year + Steem veteran goes nuts publicly and calls it quits, it can be demotivational on the surface...
I don't like being less active, can barely keep up with yesterday's comments... clients are weirrrrrrrrrd with sidetracking me and slowing me down, etc.
Ha ha that's trademarked by Popsicle. People have a lot of things going on in there lives so the breaking point for those guys may have been aided by outside forces. Glad you are getting your stuff together so you can keep earning and take care of business. I need a new approach too!
They started by complaining about bot votes and the trending page, then the devs, it was pretty ugly and bitter to be honest.
I'm so flippin' swamped now, even though I'm not really posting much, I still don't have the spare time to work on building my biz... it's like a horde of client mosquitoes heh heh...
