This has been a subject close to my heart. I really am sickened by people only focused on monies, no matter the kind of monies. At first when I arrived here I was thrilled that this concept was really a thing and one could get recognized for depth of thought and creativity; soon after I started to notice a theme of "formula" type post and felt a bit disheartened about it all. Soon after I started to see great artist, and writers, thinkers, and sure, people talking about how to do well here but with a depth of integrity, the whole together we rise feel -- hope is restored for me as I am using my penny (lol) upvotes and curating ability to make this what I want and ignore the rest. When I come across those post that are in essence trying to work the steemit system, I roll my eyes and move on, unless it's someone I follow, then I unfollow and move on.

I have high hopes. . . and hopefully enough people see the chance we have here to make bigger changes across the great playing board that is life on a control grid.

And with my small ability I am sharing (resteeming) this RAD post of yours.
Keep the rock light on! :-)
