The Steeminati is a real thing. I don't play their games and don't pay for their votes. I just continue to do things as I always have. Post and hope that somebody appreciates my content and upvotes it. I am not a Steemit optimist thinking this platform is going to the moon. I think we are on the down slope. There are too many games being played and the platform is just broken.

Wow I never thought I'd hear you say that! I've also reached the end of road with any optimism after our jaunt to Steemfest 2. The powers at be showed a complete disregard for any concerns raised. I raised my concerns about the downvoting and flagging and was laughed or sneered at by top developers and even a few of the very nice people I met there. I took animal farm the novel with me to the fest as a reminder of my intentions to gain faith is what I saw and a flawed experiment. I left portugal disillusions. I powered down a week or so after getting home. Where are the communities? The quick log ins? Things that were so basic and promissed within weeks. I think the brains behind the whole project left quite a long time ago and when his new projects launch we'll see steemit vapourise into... steam. And I'm sad about that thought... meanwhile I did discover something at steemfest that made me upbeat. Appics. They might be what steemit could have been.
Yep - you're right, the platform needs some attention. I was hoping that we would see more hard forks but not much has happened in the last 6 months to improve things. I remain optimistic overall though, not necessarily about the steemit platform alone, but it's an excellent case study in a decentralised social network. It sort of works. As for the money, I've earned peanuts for the amount of work I've put in, but I was pleasantly surprised when the price of steem peaked. I don't think I'll ever earn any worthwhile cash though, so my attention will only be spent on here while I've got time to do so.
I still want to believe that good things will come out of this site soon.
the platform feels broken, if you just look at all the drama etc. but I think it is better, if you just follow the blogs you like, comment on them, make friendships with them. Might not be as profitable as commenting "hue hueh uehuee haejin sux lolololo" but it is the only real way to enjoy the platform for me at least! But platforms like zappl and dtube still show a lot of potential!
There's so many good things going on here and I hope they have a chance. The greed of a few threaten that
Never thought I'd see the day that @hilarsi is negative towards Steemit. But I agree. I just hope you realize that after a statement like that, you will never, and I mean never, get any support here, ever again.
Your account is now dead.
Steemit was dead to me at SteemFest 2.
It's so unfortunate. We all remember the optimism of 2016.
What do you mean his account is dead? Is that a threat?
Hah, no. What I mean is that one can kiss major upvotes on this platform goodbye if he or she is too negative towards Steemit.
The whales only upvote Steemit lovefests.
This setup looks corrupt to me. By the way I couldnt care less about upvotes, I'm here just for the crypto tips and because FB is too censored.
Great stuff @hilarski hopefully the team shows face with an update. Seems like everything is being geared towards the dtube as noted by @yato.
🙏🏼Thanks for this Words!!!!!!👍🏼🌸☝🏽
Yup.
Yes! Sad to say but very true!
I just keep going as I used to and even try to motivate newcomers but for the first time I have my doubts, that we take the ride more down than up. It’s a shame but those games don’t stop!
Yeah, I hear you. Just do you own thing and be yourself. The results will fall where they will. I think there is still hope for the future though.
