Steemit is a lot of work because we are all content creators and need to be treated as such. That means we need to spend more time and energy on our audience if we want to respect them. It can get a little hectic sometimes and there is just way too much content. I post too much, we all too much, but thats what happens when we write something we think is awesome and it gets fewer views and smaller upvotes than we hoped, we either post less or we post a lot more.
Sometimes I don't have energy for any of it, sometimes I have just barely enough and want to spend it on my own post and put off the comments for a few days until I really need to catch up and I miss a few.
I love to catch up with you though, aside from being enjoyable, it reminds me I have allies with higher rep than myself :-D
Always nice to "see" you!
Your comment reminds me of something a social media veteran once told me: "Doing social media is EASY; doing social media WELL is HARD."
If you're an active content creator and you interact with and curate your own content.... yeah, it can be a lot of work. Especially if you actually engage people. Over the past couple of days I've left about 75 comments at an average length of about 80 words per comment. 80 words is more than 3/4 of the posts on Steemit. But hey, that's my choice of how I do things.
And some days? I have no energy for it, either. Thanks for the kind words!
