I feel your frustration but I hope you reconsider. Are you doing other blogging and utilizing other social media sites? I share my posts from here to twitter and FB, and if appropriate - to linkedin. Remember that Steemit has an Alexa rating which is hard to come by on your own website.

Also, for my podcast account, I publish to the website and a plugin publishes it to Steemit at the same time.

Maybe start playing with the different apps and stay for the fun. I look at it this way - I have written and posted on other platforms for a long time and made zero money.

So, everything here could be considered a bonus.

Hope you stay...

Let's have fun!!!
