Yeah. I didn't rage quit, as that's not my thing either. Much of my work needs an authentic viewership. I guess this is a travelling circus now. LOL!
I'm also prone to being a product of my environment. It was quite toxic on Steem and there are things happening (I am watching) I don't agree with, at all. Combine that with my sometimes relentless outspoken ways and I just end up being what I don't want to be. I did a good job of staying quiet for a long time. I'd rather be over here trying to entertain these folks. Doing what I can be really good at. I'm not good at being frustrated.
My main focus is creating content and attracting the consumers. It's really no different than someone starting a Youtube channel. That's all I need. So there needs to be a future I'm working towards. The politics and stuff don't matter to me, unless the politicians are trying to take away my stage and the paying seats that surround it. There's not much of a genuine market for my product on Steem right now, and I could face "consequences" over something as simple as a piece of satire. I don't want a boss. It's clear to me where I need to be right now and if this doesn't work it's time to retire. I feel like I was fooled once, so we know who to blame if I get fooled twice.
