Brilliant post! I love your rants! Thanks so much for writing it. I've looked at Maslow's hierarchy before but never from the point of view that I am at the thin end of the stick when it comes to audiences. I guess that's because for me self-actualisation and self-transcendence in particular are survival ...and I'm just learning to let go of the idea that 'it must be good for everyone.'

I was also watching Jerry's post and thinking - how do people do posts like that...? In my small niche, I guess I've been hoping that the steemit pool is big enough for me to find like minds... or at least some minds that like what I write.... unlike the small town in Australia I grew up in.

Fortunately the one really great thing I have found about writing on steemit, is that writing posts evolves me... The process of posting on a semi-regular basis is bringing me personal clarity, insights and better ides. So that's worth 10cents a post in itself!

Thanks again for your experienced insights, I look forward to reading your post again, especially after I've had a few beers, as I think it over further.

warm regards, Margot
