I treat Steem as a bit of a "Dear Diary" at times, and at other times, a place where I can write about something that is on my mind. I find the writing to be a bit of a focussing and comforting experience, something that I have not done for such a long time!
The rewards are a bit of a bonus, although I stick to the 50/50 split. I tend to use the rewards to drip out into other low-cap crypto, or to play raffles in #steemsilvergold.
Thanks for the reply. Yes, I think it can be helpful to use Steemit as an outlet at times.
