I'm blissfully unaware of the drama surronding the person you mentioned, so I haven't a clue what all that is about, but I do like the gist of this post. I've been here technically over a year because I joined July 2017 BUT I didn't really start steem until the beginning of this year, so I'm still a newbie. However, I love that, in a way, the steem is back down again, as it just sort of is like a time travel machine to go back when people said, "If I could have got in at X" it's the same with Bitcoin, it's going down now, so everyone will panic but they'll be the same ones buying back in at 10,000.

I still contend that I am here most days because I truly LOVE the platform. I mean I 100 percent of the time earn zero dollars on any Facebook/Insta post, (of course it does drive sales to my site, but that's the ONLY reason I really use those sites) HERE I come to enjoy reading other artists/creators/bloggers/travelers and if I earn a buck here or there, hey, it's like having coffee with friends and someone slips a tip in your pocket, so no complaints.

I'll stick around when it's pennies a post and happily hopefully be earning IF it ever goes back to 10 a post!
