Damn, I was holding out hope that @lexiconical could find the silver lining I had missed.
Not that there was much chance I'd be stopping my power down anyway.
Too many cliques that I'd never be a part of and I've always been too much of a Luddite to get rich on Steemit with bots.
Oh well, it was a nice dream while it lasted, and I do still get to read some good content.
As I was warned early on by another quality user of rep 72+ who now appears jaded, "almost everyone around here is dirty."
I mean, you can literally vote yourself money with a click. Anonymously, on the internet. Is any of this a surprise?
The stupidity is really those of us that thought they could invest here and operate in good faith for any period of time without going fucking insane.
Well, I hath gazed too long into the abyss, and now it gazeth into me.
