RE: What's the point? Why do I still post?
I don't have any answers, but I appreciate what you're saying, being an introvert as well. My original intent was mostly to use this as more or less a "personal journal" and storage place that also might make a few cents here and there, and might add one more place to post my work and have someone see it.
Not sure what will happen after this new hardfork. The last one was such a mess; I fear the worst. And this is already a pretty fragile community...
This HAS been more of a journal than anything i guess, so could be a good way to look at it.
The comments on the recent hf post is very telling. 90% of those responding are 60 or higher rep and are all seeing major problems coming. Probably time to start looking at the new EOS and Voice as alternatives.
Well, the last hardfork was a real shit show, so I'm not expecting much from this one either.
I haven't been posting as much as I used to, it's a combination of being busy, being distracted away from posting by other stuff, and not having a lot to write about. If I wanted to shitpost, I could write about my garden every day, but that gets old in a hurry for me, so I've been relaxing a bit on writing posts. I'm not going to stop, but I'm not going to push myself as much as I used to either. I find a lot of your posts interesting, but I can't keep up with steem lately, so I haven't been doing as much curating.
It feels like this slump happens at each HF. I'm sure the value of steem hasn't helped much either.
I'm trying to change my perspective and see posting more as a journal for myself, and if anyone else sees it then okay. The fact of the platform being advertised as an earning possibility is what has made it such shit. If there was no expectation of serious "money" then chances are the attitudes would be different overall.
I'm looking forward to the curation accounts that will be built soon as they will likely give the best return with least effort.
It will be interesting to see what happens with curation after the hard fork. Perhaps there will be more curation efforts by people, but I guess we'll have to wait and see on that.
