You would have to write this on my second steemiversary when I will definitely be doing a steemit related post, LOL, but you know that most of my posts are not about this place so it's all good :-) You are making me wonder if I should reassess my signature, then again it's not the focus of my post and if it makes outside eyes wonder what it's about it's not necessarily a bad thing.

But I do tend to agree with a large percentage of things you say. Not having a view counter is particularly...urksome (I hate that word, but it's so appropriate ha)

It's funny, I was thinking about the cheerleader aspect, and yes I've been a steemit cheerleader but I would say that this has morphed more into being a cheerleader for the people of steemit rather than the platform itself. I have made friends here that are lifelong, a couple of them don't even post much anymore but we're still in constant contact. I'm forever grateful to this place for the relationships I've made never mind anything else. My life would be a lot grayer had I not met you for instance, and I don't just refer to your art :)

It's oddly comforting to me that the current lack of interest and overall quiet here is not actually a steem issue, but a crypto one. Because crypto will rise again and steem along with it, of that I'm sure, so for now we just have a more intimate setting and that's okay with me. I've learned to enjoy the parts of the ride that are slower and less exciting.

But yeah, really well said, as these types of posts by you always are :)
