RE: Calling All Witnesses

I share your frustration!

And this: smaller accounts are more difficult to find now.
And the hives! the competing communities with their hashtags. Somehow "racial profiling" comes to mind, however inapt the comparison may be. I don't like labels. I like being inclusive, universal. Groups and cliques and identities have their place, I know... we segregate with birds of a feather. Maybe I'm too much of a rebel, a loner. But I bristle at any kind of pigeon-holing. I'm breaking out in hives... resisting change... too set in my ways...
"suddenly having to perform significantly more keystrokes to do simple tasks" - my son tried Steemit and hated the HTML coding and how cumbersome and time consuming he finds it to be, and he aced "informatics" in college (computers, codes, plus a linguistics degree). I don't know what will lure @mvkean back. Thanks for expressing your views with your usual refreshing honesty, @owasco!

It just keeps getting more and more time consuming, and for me the rewards are smaller and smaller. I see folks in OCD getting what would be for me a windfall on a single post that they tossed off. It makes me really mad! I work sometimes for months (my hawk poem) and does it get any attention? Nope. Well, that's not true. It gets lots of attention from actual humans who seem to like my content, but no curators visit, or when they do they give a token upvote, 200 worthless upvotes, and a kiss a death for future rewards.

Your hawk poem is awesome.
You may not get the financial proofs, but you've got my endorsement!
The work work work, the paper trail, the busy busy busy demands. The more "nothing" going on, the busier the worker bees.
I'm in cynic mode, as usual. But ready to be inspired and encouraged.
Not gonna think about how 250 upvotes = two bucks....
