Thanks for sharing. I am one of those disappointed people. When I post on Steemit, few people see my post and respond to them. When I post on any newspaper I get many people responding to my posts.
I just don't get why I am not getting the traction I get of other newspaper forums. Even my Linkedin and facebook profiles get way more interaction and comments.
I believe the bots help a lot of people, the beautiful pics and videos as well. I don't use any of those, so I am okay with the reality of the situation.
