I appreciate your concern @kwlvarun and @girlinchief. Thank you! I agree that health comes first although I would still need to work harder even if it's not in Steemit to sustain the meds or get better alternative treatment. I'm into alternative meds because I don't want my thyroid removed and get radiation. The surgery can be covered by my health benefits but because I chose alternative treatment, most are out of my pocket and it can be an expensive lifestyle (organic food etc). But yes, I'm failing because stress and sleep are factors I should also take care of in alternative treatment. I will slow down a bit in the coming days.
Thank you also for your take on my question about strategy. It does feel like a game with the power ups and metrics. Quoting you:
"It has no moral values in itself but players and the community may have."
This is a great insight! I think we decide what are considered moral values in Steemit and this is largely influenced by whales. I have chosen the organic strategy but with what I'm seeing in this platform, it looks like the inorganic way is very much supported by the whales. That worries me that I might fail because I am not some famous person who'd naturally have followers (which prompted me to make this post). But I am still observing. As @tanishqveyerma replied here, I shouldn't restrict myself.
