Each to their own, sir. I am fortunate to have enough time for both platforms thankfully.
As for ease of mining, I'm not sure it's a case of it being really easy for everyone. I can only speak for myself, but it has been a frustrating journey here on Steemit over the last few months. I stick around because I enjoy it, but I became disheartened by bots and voting circles reducing the minnow's ability to be noticed.
Please don't interpret this as moaning. I don't feel entitled to any form of reward for my posts. I actually enjoy engaging with people in the comment sections more than creating content these days!
Well, I am glad to have you here and hope you stick around.
It's okay to speak about the things you're not happy about. At the same time, you have to be willing to do what is needed to overcome those issues.
I would suggest following more people and engaging with others that want to see STEEM grow with genuine users and genuine content.
There are quite a few of us on here who want to see the bots reduced and genuine users thrive
