Agree with you 100%.
- I feel that personalized attention is one of the greatest things lacking in the modern world*
I would phrase it that the greatest gift you/I/we can ever give another person is simply our time, to sit and listen. The problem is that time is such a limited and precious commodity; and why I would suggest; (as both you and I have experienced the direct positive benefits of this) a mentoring/sponsorship/training programme via Whale to Dolphin to Minnow. That the first generation on Steemit teach the second and so forth.
I believe a band-aid approach is much preferable to letting someone just "bleed out" btw :)
I already took on a mentee during the first week. He found me and asked me. I said yes. Now I am asking to become someone's mentor. I have been doing this mentorship all along, quietly, behind the scenes.
