Yeah busy did the trick for me, the only thing I went to Steemit for was SteemPunk, then I gave up playing that for a while...
I do agree, things were amazing a few years ago in the field of "good people" but after going over the people I follow I'm seeing 1/3 at least have given up and it's a bit sad, the whole system here is a bit skewed, if you don't have money you're no funny :D
I'm still hovering around here because of the people and the amazing experience I had before, it was a social-media, as in people connecting and collecting/communicating, but with the "mainstream adoption" a lot of people had to be thrown under the bus, well they walked off by themselves...
Anyways, it's how it is, everything works with money nowadays ... if stinc were focusing on community, they would have had masses already, and a .1s block time :D open up development, stop refactoring every 3 months, give up the copyright over everything .... buuut millions be millions :) better keep them leashed :)
Good luck to you as well, I will check you out some time in the future, same time I get to reading 50 blogs a day, again :P
