lol, sorry not trying to call you out so much as to call Steemit out. While this platform has done something pretty impressive, creating a community which is very difficult, I'm not shy to point out this platform has a ton of problems.

It's marketed as a place to earn off your content, however it's more like it's a place to earn if you know how to play the game, act like a human bot, and can get in the good graces of the right people.

I've been on here well over a year and while I've made some great friends and grown to 2,000 followers, I make peanuts per post which shows having followers means nothing if they aren't the right followers.

I actually really enjoyed your content as well as Hive account@bradlovesbeer you guys both created great content, I looked forward to your posts. Many of the good content creators like yourself have either gone away or are posting low quality cellphone photos of nothing because why put in effort when your not going to make anything anyways.

I also look at Brian who's incredibly involved and engaged and creates great content and really knows crypto and steemit well and he's not really getting the attention and rewards that he should so it kind of beggs the question what's the point?

I'm here because I'm creating content other places so figure may as well post it here too and because I'm already somewhat invested but it kinda irks me when I see people joining the steemit is so great circle jerk because it's not so great, it has the potential to be great but I wouldn't say its great in its current form.

You and brad actually got some good traction and were earning pretty well on here so was kind of surprised to see you guys disapear, but honestly I feel you on the crypto skepticism, myself, someone who for years has been involved in crypto and previously was very supportive am not nearly as optimistic about the future of crypto. We had a nice run, there was a lot of excitement, but honestly there's little to no reason to use crypto as opposed to cash or a credit card unless your doing something illegal or unless your in a legal industry that's considered high risk to merchant processors where it may be the only option. The only reason I've ever used crypto was for the novelty of using it and to support it but it's not easier to use, its not cheaper to use, and it lacks chargeback protection adn credit card points two perks of using cardds.

Just curious do you use eSteem or Partiko on yoru phone? Whenenver I mention Hive account@emmyem84 your pretty quick to respond which is cool as I guess you still have some interest in the platform?

Outside of that how's life treating you and brad? How's your summer been? I was thinking about brad the other day, I know he's a runner, I've been consiering doing an ultra marathon like the christmas in july or the hennepin 100, was curious if he's got any interest in those.
