It's a challenging time in the cryptocurrency market, but it's important to remember that the bear market will eventually turn around. The disappearance of SBD as a means of increasing rewards has indeed affected the earning potential for users on the Steemit platform. However, this is a temporary setback and the Steemit blockchain program promises a return of SBD when the price becomes favorable again.

It's understandable that some active steemians have had to seek alternative sources of income, but it's important to not lose sight of the passion that led to joining the platform in the first place. Writing quality content shouldn't be solely driven by the financial reward, but by the satisfaction and enjoyment of creating content.

In this difficult time, it's crucial to remain focused and continue working hard to accumulate as many tokens as possible. This is not a time to panic, but to double down on your efforts and remember why you joined the platform. Stay strong and keep creating!
