The inevitable slide towards mediocrity and the lower common denominator? Sad, that... but it seems we increasingly live in a world with the attention span of a gnat, which in turn seems to mean a reduced capacity to interface with "quality," in general... be that in a venue like Steemit, or in the greater world.

For now, I will continue to simply contribute content as would anywhere ("doing my best") and if that turns out to be a road to nowhere, I'll just pull up stakes and move elsewhere. As I said in the post, this "type" of gig is a road littered with destruction and failed dreams.
