you raise a lot of points here. One of them is balancing out the give and take, the greed and the giving.
As a newcomer I feel alittle overwhelmed by the marketing tactics to gain traction in Steemit the same way than in any other social network. I see people losing focus and getting addicted to geting more likes and so on.
So, to simplify my life, I decided to skip it altogether and focusing on adding value to the community. I have a mission to increase the world’s creative quotient, so we can sole world problems, and I have a message to get across, skills and information to share with that aim. As you can see I resonate with a bigger dream as you mentioned. Plus, I already have a busy life.
Thus, count me in for the virtual castle, I think the more we join forces the bigger the impact.
Keep up the funny videos, I enjoy them :)
