Thank you for addressing this topic. I admit that at one point I found annoying the posts where others vented about their Steemit low rewards and announced their intentions of leaving. Therefore I stopped reading their blogs.
I loved how you broke it down and discussed point by point most of the issues.
I wish I had more time on my hands for Discord. You are right about it! Some communities have the feeling of steeping on a gold mine. My only frustration would be that I don't have enough time to explore them more and connect with others.
