We all have some story why we joined Steemit. Only small part is money, in the end not for the money, it's because it is fair to share money with users and taking all for yourself like Facebook etc.
Must admit your words 'broken heart' hit me big time. I even started to cry. Uuuuhhhh many reasons for that... I wanted to make post about it, but that is super hard to me. Started typing it here in the comment, but I just can't do it. Must admit my persception about people is the most of them will judge and don't care, so I usually choose to leave my pain for myself.
Thanks for sharing your inner feelings.
