My response may surprise you, or it may not.

This reply or the one to poor little choose-adventure?

I guess neither reply comes as a surprise, other than the news about your sheep. I’m sorry to hear that - do you need to sell all of your babies or can you keep a few?

With a few exceptions (in my community or good friends), I don't read anything here that interests me anymore.

I think this problem has been here for a while now and is increasing. I want to curate, I enjoy content but so little catches my attention that it feels like a waste of time even trying. Part of me thinks “if I keep going, maybe more will think the same and try to be original” but it doesn’t seem to happen. There’s too much of a focus on contests and engagement challenges which simply don’t interest me. Outside of that, like you say, there’s the people I like but they’re becoming less active too so there’s less pulling me back in.

I do enjoy watching your escape from Steemit City and I hope you win your fight 😊 I think that the interactions with the people will become the best part of the game.

As far as your comments about sc, I suspect that the person in the team that we liked who would comment occasionally has left Steemit. I could be wrong but the occasional meaningful interaction that we used to have appears to be a thing of the past. I haven’t looked at their comments but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s mostly congratulations for dolphins and alike.
