So, why do I spend so many hours creating content?
I am not sure what the solution is to this kind of behavior but something must get done sooner rather than later as it is strangling the system and suffocating anyone trying to produce something of worth.
I took a 10 day break from steemit, out of sheer negative frustrations of seeing creators get nothing for their time.
It is totally disheartening.
Hang in there. The future in steem and Steemit is bright. We'll get through this. Steem is still a baby and these guys are starving it. It can be dealt with.
You spend so many hours creating good content because you've embraced the essence of the platform. Good on you.
