Dear sir! Your post is full of wisdom and I am proud of you! Thank you for blessing us.

but really.

I totally know where you're coming from. Especially when I started, it was a confusing time of everyone being positive, but only a few being authentic. Over the months, I've slowly curated my own users that I follow, and now interact with most of them (obviously some more than others). As with any social media, there are people who honestly use it and others who abuse it. Unfortunately it can take some time to weed out the chaff, but once you do (or at least once I did) it is a great and interactive site. Steemit definitely has its downfalls, but it also has great potential. I know there are a lot of things that need to change before it's widely adopted, but here's to hoping there is a way to somehow clean up the content.

P.S. Always love seeing your work, even if you frickin' clickbait me.
