I wish there was a clear roadmap pointing us towards what our next step should be.
I couldn't agree more @bozz.
I seem to have given up since HF22. For the first time since joining I haven't posted for more than a week despite going to a really fun meet up at the weekend which would have been perfect posting material.
My curation rewards are down too and with all the new token options it just gets more and more confusing for me. Too many ways to turn.
I've not powered up my last couple of purchases of Steem because I'm not using the SP I aready have so it seems a bit pointless.
It seems again that, for the most part, those who already have the most are benefitting the most from the changes.
So many people have left the platform and I held on and held on but now I have pretty much fizzled out.
I won't power down because I still see Steem as a good long term investment but I'm not motivated by the latest changes.
I don't get all the excitement about cleaning up the trending page when, as you say, it's now mostly Steem related.
I did think about writing some a post with the newsteem tag just to get the upvote but then I thought . . . "then what" . . . so I didnt bother. 😂
Wait!, What? I should have used the newsteem tag! :) I will have to log back into busy and add that! Yeah, I understand that things evolve and stuff like that, but right now it just kind of feels like the majority of us are in a sit and wait pattern. Sure you can post here and there and maybe make a couple of Steem, but in the grand scheme of things it really may not matter. That's sad that you have kind of backed off, but I totally understand why. I haven't really seen my curation rewards go up like everyone is talking about either.
Definitely go back and add the newsteem tag. It's being upvoted by smartsteem as their idea of manual curation to avoid getting downvotes for being a bot. 😂
