Yeah it has gotten pretty crazy and there are some users that seem to be pretty engaged but I can never tell if their content is original or not. Like I feel like they stole a bunch of artwork from someone else. But I really don't know.
I think some of the vetrans got slightly burnt out a little bit. I know for me that if I can make $100 / day on Steemit across 4 posts then I feel good about it. If I'm putting up posts that are earning $2 it makes it tougher for me to keep focusing on it because my expenses are so high and I spend too much time on here already.
Also it is really tough to keep up with my feed and try to look at all my friends posts on here. Then I feel like a rat bastards if I don't upvote. Right now my Steem voter isn't the premium service so I can only upvote 10 people and the rest I'm doing manually.
Agreed my friend ! Us veterans should be at least making over 5.00 dollars a post more like 10.00 but most of us are not , so many people are not up voting usually they are out of power like me ! Even with 1600 plus followers we are lucky to gey 50 up votes ! I t didn't used to be like this , we work our asses off to get this far after a year , and I feel like it was all for nothing sometimes ! LOL! π
