Hmm. There's that saying "When it rains it pours". Thankfully I'm no sugar cube and neither is this platform. I still believe in Steemit's potential and I think there are enough smart and talented people who can fill the gap. Granted, this couldn't have come at a worse time, especially with a platform experiment that's torn our poor community asunder. I am not deflated at all, but I am exhausted. So I'm going to rest my eyes and see what I see tomorrow and the next day...
I love your optimism in a storm. :)
