I always knew steem was a long term thing, since I joined (I joine when it was at its peak) it has gone down and down and I have almost lost sensitivity to it... I just keep going, and sharing and engaging with everyone... if this works, it will be an asset for my art, if not I will have engaged and got to meet an audience that was not anywhere else. The problem is when you rely on crypto as your income... I struggle and I would thank that but I'm aware it was not sensible to trust it that way, yet.
