The downvote I received was no sweat. Things have clearly snowballed though. Events I noticed last week leading to seeing all those other artists who are nowhere near as established as I am getting kicked to the curb like that is an impossible pill to swallow.
I've clearly explained on numerous occasions how the things we don't like benefit us all indirectly and their success should be celebrated. Of course the internal memo style Hive posts do not contribute much to that success. It took years to get folks on steem to stop doing that. You were there in the early days as well and saw the damage it did. Reliving this all over again is only bringing back bad memories. It took years for some to break down the barriers and now they're putting them right back up.
I am frustrated. I will not deny that and is to the point where it's probably best I take a couple days off. I don't want to be writing posts like these. It's not fun.
