It was good to read through your post and also the comments over here. You know, I am one of those people that have fun watching nice / funny videos and even more fun reading the comments under them.. lol.
Now, I do see quite a few people who feel like how I had felt sometime when I look into my steem account. I have posted a handful of blogs and none of them see any upvotes at all. Though I didn't join Steemit to make my fortune in life, I felt, getting appreciated for some content which is trending and maybe a bit helpful, would be nice.
Anyways, I am going to try as much as possible to contribute & take things the way they come !!
Cheers
