I just wrote a beautifully eloquent reply (if I do say so myself), but Steemit's steam seems to have run cold and dry (or whatever steam does when it runs out...) My post vanished in the ether.

Well, beta...

First, thank you for your reply. What else did I say? Hmm...Oh, yeah, I had I think two Youtube videos that trended, and both got the most psychopathically stupid comments you can imagine. Put me off posting anything online for six months.

Which brought to mind (in my original, much better reply) how culturally crazy it is that we view "box office grosses" - or Youtube views - as a sign of success, rather than...well, any other criterion.

I have this feeling that on Steemit the level of...betterness?...is somewhat higher than most places online...which is why I may, possibly, only post here, eventually.

On that note, what I can't work out is an hour after posting that vid on Youtube I have 667 views, but no comments and only one like - which would imply the views are coming from Steemit, except it says here only six people have viewed this post. So, who knows....Not that I SHOULD care about eyeballs versus...anything else (everything else) (But I still, secretly, do...well, not really secret if posted here, but...)
