It's okay @feelisgood there weren't any hurt feelings :-) Commenting is not easy, especially in a foreign language.

Is there much going on in Russian on Steemit?

It seems to me that yes. Something happens for sure :)

But the Russian community is very addicted to bots. I do not like this. It seems to me that the purchase of upvotes kills the idea of a Steemit.

And I want to communicate in English. I know him very badly and I use Google Translate.

I suppose that is a good way to improve your English comprehension, but it seems like it would be a bit frustrating and tedious.

I've heard Russian is a very expressive language, I do hope you are also able to make some meaningful contacts in that community :-)

Thank you

I was going to publish my drawings, but I see so many fine artists on steemit that I even got a little lost. My drawings are not as good as the artworks of many here.

What you are doing is a good strategy, you are developing contacts by commenting. If you start right away posting, you are basically sending your work into an empty void. I made that mistake when I came to steemit.

I wish when I started that I had done what you are doing, in the long term I think it will pay off for you.

Thanks for the kind words, @roused. In my imagination, I came up with an idealistic picture of the future, when I will draw, and people will thank me and I will be able to live on this money. But now it seems to me that everything is not so simple on the Steemit :)

You are off to a good start. I've been here a year and I have thought about stopping many times. It is fun at times, but also frustrating and seemingly futile at other times.
