Good to read this post. Emotions can be a driver for actions. Although we shall control these (generally), it is good to feel them and from time to time let them go as well, like you did here on Steemit. Your frustrations are very similar to mine, and I had them almost from my start at Steemit. Somehow I got peace with how Steemit works - so it seems so - and only spend time on Steemit when I like to do so. This resulted in (much) less time on Steemit, less posts, less interactions, feeding the circle of less views on next posts - HOWEVER, I do still engage and keep contact with those Steemians I like, like you! The glass is half full versus the glass is half empty thing :) Looking forward to the future with you still here :)
