I've been trying to focus on elements other than money, but it is difficult, when it is so woven into steemit.
It is, of course, woven as firmly into other social media platforms, they just hide it better.
My reflexes are poor for this...for example, I hate advertising, but am clearly doing it myself here.
I hope to learn how to include money in some of my efforts, without allowing it to become my main purpose here. I DO want a place where my friends and family can check out my activities, but also wouldn't mind earning some income.
Following you!
