🥳 Today I have a little holiday!
7 years ago I registered on this platform. More precisely, on June 11, 2016, I registered on Steemit. I literally saw the whole history of these platforms from the very beginning (May 2016).
I remember how autovoter bots were first created, I remember the old-timer of those times, I remember how I created the very first post in which I introduced myself and earned about $ 1,700 on it. Yes, I remember how at the very beginning people earned some unimaginable rewards, and then they boasted that they bought new cool cars and so on with this money.
I remember how 3 steemit forks were created (one fork GOLOS and then after conflicts there were two more from him, who have been dead for several years), where I also posted my ornithological articles and photos. I remember how HIVE was created, how accounts were transferred from Steemit to Hive, I remember the long-awaited launch.
Now the motivation to do something is very low, but I continue to do it.

Something happened to these birds in my opinion. I remember that a few years ago they arrived much earlier than for the 2nd year in a row. But these birds began to appear more often in the city. Right behind my house in the bushes I constantly hear the song of this bird. Passing by the park, again I hear the song of this bird.

However, it is worth starting to approach the bushes, as the bird falls silent and freezes. Most of all, of course, these birds are in the forest and meadows. In the meadows, they are easiest to see because of the openness of the area.
