Ciao @revo! Many thanks for your reply and welcome! As a newcomer it's hard to ween myself off a beautiful instagame feed that is all GREAT, professional quality, easily curated, thoughtful photography and replace it with what I've found on steemit. Obviously there are great producers here but there's a lot of other, as you say "crud," to dig through to find and connect with curating a feed that's would truly inspire me and gain a commitment of my time. Given my current lifestyle, time on wifi can sometimes be too limited and therefore precious to get lost unfruitfully searching steemit and also hard to engage on discord. I also find it highly ironic that the search feature is google and has ads. The drop down menu below "all content" and "my feed" is extraordinarily random and devastatingly incomplete. Explaining and introducing steemit to others is really difficult when you scroll through the trending with them as an illustration and it's frankly hard to incite and capture someones attention to want to browse other than conversing about comparative social media quality while confusedly gawking at upvote values. I am however embracing the technological learning curve as the price of entry to be an early adopter and hope, despite your Christmas reference, that UX and UI will exponentially improve.

I honor and commend your work in building applications though! The most I can contribute is content. I've been asking/expecting from the universe "getting paid well to be me." Steeming my travel lifestyle is obviously idyllic and I really would like to ultimately master the dtube scene as well but I also wonder about the practicality until you have a devoted following which as illustrated above I find slightly difficult to attain.

As of today I've an offer after the Caribbean season descends into hurricanes (July) to go sailing in Fiji. I am desperate to go and will photo document as always my experiences and prod myself away from a trained presence and into a narrated blog but if I were to produce videos I literally might be months without wifi to upload, gain votes, and finance that or the next trip. I still am super optimistic I can make it work but a window of July and with my hope to still be sailing the Caribbeans until then, with more regular than the South Pacific, but still intermittent wifi, feels like just a dream today. But hey! I've only just introduced myself; I'm only getting started! And I BELIEVE so perhaps my dream will come true!

I genuinely appreciate the follow and @diabolika recommendation!
Be well; create a beautiful day!
