I'm too stubborn to give up yet! I blogged for YEARS for free, so this is just a bump in the road. I will admit that I am spending more of my time writing for other projects... hoping to diversify my time a little better and not put all of my 'writing eggs' in one basket, so to speak. Still, steemit is a priority to me and I am committed to posting once a day and itneracting, using my voting power each day. I consider steemit a very valuable investment and I'm just waiting for the financial value to soar back up while I'm diligently working on building my following and relationships through steemit.
Great post, fantastic points and keep up the good work!
Thanks for the awesome feedback @byn. I know what you mean about diversification. I do the same thing working for clients and on my WP websites.
I'm a stick in the mud, too much in some past instances. But like you, I think Steem will be rockin again. It all happens with patience, inalittlewhile. :) lol
