"SteemIt is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it. Once we truly know that SteemIt is difficult - once we truly understand and accept it - then SteemIt is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that SteemIt is difficult no longer matters."
* Edited from Scott Peck’s book, The Road Less Traveled (unedited version below)

On your SteemIt journey you will encounter spam, memes, scammers, control freaks, beggars, and even those with differing opinions,.. In addition, you will encounter unfairness,rudeness, networks of people working together to try to get ahead, those who are gaming the system and perhaps some that are engaged in circle jerk behavior. (Do NOT google that)
You may feel: FOMO, Insecure, worry, concern, offended, protective of your investment, insulted, misunderstood, as though nobody cares upset, nervous, or violent bouts of puking and diarrhea (seek medical attention for that one, it isn’t normal)
Upon noticing these terrible people and their horrific goals, it is best to:
- Make a post about your upset
- Muster up all your courage and keep working out that scroll finger
- Mute and Flag
- Tuck those feelings away and deal with it
- All of the above
My answer would be 5, we have a great community and many actively assist with trying to keep our blockchain clean and tidy while encouraging engagement. Be patient a Community is in progress.
