the whales have pretty much dumped me months ago. It's irrevelant, I'm not their whore. I was grossly overpaid actually. I know this. Everyone was overpaid who joined Steemit early on. We all knew it was not to last. We all expected it to die off eventually, and for most it did. Some early ones are still doing well. Many have quit or slowed down. Me, well, I write for a living so I'm still here.
I'm continuing to do what I did on Steemit from day one: write and post. I am writing because writing is my disease. I will never stop. @kyriacos has made me see this place in a new light: The Big Flushout Time. Despicable, self-centered, egotistical whales will die off. It may take some time, but if they provide no substance, they will be gone. This game is not for uber-controlling boys who fancy themselves as some kind of "gods". No, this place belongs to those who provide sweat and tears. People who give a shit about human decency and providing real value to others.
That's how I see it too. We see who stays for the community aspect and to enjoy the readership of who is active here. And the committed devs who have a human vision for the project.
It is encouraging to see people who belong to that group get the rewards, regardless of the politics.
yeah, agreed. It does still have a slimy residue though..............that's what I don't like.
