The universe decided I needed a tree root growing in my septic system, so that's the only project I'm focused on currently. ;)

ha ha! That's unfortunate. Me, well, recently I was offered a professional writing gig, and seeing as 209 votes now equal $10, I cannot afford to be posting on Steemit as my only gig. Diversification is needed. I'll still be posting here, but see it now for what it truly is......a whale ass kissing casino.

Hey, Congratulations!!

congrats!

Look, @kushed is flagging the shit out of regular posts by @ats-david and steemit abuse is doing nothing because @kushed's buddies are running the channel. got any ideas for dealing with this shitstorm?

check this out for Steemit going to a new low: https://steemit.com/@ats-david/posts
His posts are not abusive or plagiarized.

I honestly think 40% is the number that would at least have a direct impact immediately. That leaves what still about 40% or so leftover?

Like yourself, I too am going back and focusing on other writing gigs for now. I guess for me I never got any backing from a whale though so I haven't experienced the "high" that comes with any success on Steemit.

don't give up. consider this the big flushout. I think @kyriacos has a valid point. Let's make this platform interesting and dynamic by spilling our guts in an honest way. Let's not be whale whores, but instead speak our minds with integrity.

It's comments like this that make me wish I had more steem power to vote with
