Interesting...

I have been here since November 2017 and came full of enthusiasm and energy excited by what at first seemed a just and egalitarian system ~ a breathe of fresh air.

Never political I have become aware of many of the strategies and plays for influence within the ecosystem and am a little overwhelmed and, once again, disappointed by human nature.

It surely is a dog eat dog world and whilst a convert to Steemit and grateful for the many honest and true folks here who add immeasurable value to me/many/all I am a little jaded and crestfallen.

Your piece here makes me realise I must either step up or shut up; I must educate myself fully about the backroom diddlings and doings here and participate more fully in a platform that has the true potential to make a valuable difference in our world.

Thanks Taraz.
