I'm glad I took a few minutes out of my day to check steemit today and stumbled on this post. I started to lose interest in steemit last week when my last few posts were not receiving any attention. (I was posting 5 to 10 times a week) I worked hard on my blog only to get some of my best work make less than a dollar and other posts over $100 or more.

My story is common, I know. But the excitement I had when I first joined steemit has gone and I no longer have the desire to waste hours working on a post that gets unnoticed. Who wants to play the "will I get upvotes lottery??" Not me.. Not anymore.

But thank you for posting this article, because it gives me hope that steemit will improve and could still have a future. So I will check back every now and again. But for right now, i'll fade onto the inactive user list, because I plain gave up.
