Ha ha I love your enthusiasm @hartfloe. Steemit can be a wonderful place to be for sure.

Steemit represents a new era of social-media-freelancing.
This one major shift in the foundations of what it means to be a social media network is beyond a revolution. Steemit has redefined the whole philosophy that every other social media site follows - that the profit gained goes to the Website itself, not to the users - also known as -
The Content Creators.

This part of your post really rang true for me and is a big part of what I got into steemit for. Between the dream that I'm building into a reality, of gaining enough clout (steemit daily $$) to get out of the socio-political nightmare of the UK, and the creative drive that steemit has given back to me, I am a full on convert. Amen Brother 😎 Thanks for sharing your thoughts
