I agree with you @valorforfreedom. One of the reasons I joined Steemit was to connect with likeminded people who create art, design or write interesting articles like this one. I feel there is more authenticity in this platform because everything is more transparent, less curated and there seems to be less marketing. By now, I've found a cool and super talented supporter like @shinyforest. I really enjoy and support her art as well. This post has encouraged me to create more meaningful relationships with my fellow steemians and I really wish that comments don't fade away for the convenience of voting. When I started, I wrote more comments and I must admit I have fallen on the trap of not doing it as much. Thanks for you post, I really enjoyed reading it. I'm gonna follow you for more insights! Upvoted as well.
