RE: Remember When it Was Possible to Make Money on Steemit?
STEEM is ranked at #48 at Coinmarketcap. Down from the top 10 spot it once had.
Even Dogecoin is higher.

Sure, but that's all stupid money talking.
Take a look at this:

The most used decentralized app of the world is Steemit. DrugWars is second (a Steem app, released a couple of days ago). Half of the ten most used dapps are Steem-based. Those valuations are clearly bullshit and, in my opinion, it's a matter of time before the cryptosphere will wise up to that fact that Steem is the chain to go to if you want to build apps with actual use. The valuation will, in time, reflect that, too. Steemians are not content sitting around bitching about Steemit Inc. When SMT's weren't forthcoming, people started working on SMT implementations of their own. Now we have that exact functionality on SteemEngine. The tokens are on a ledger on the Steem blockchain but validated by other servers. There are determined people working hard to build the infrastructure and more apps. The cryptocurrency market is still dominated by stupid money. If you think otherwise, take a look at what some of the billion dollar projects actually do, and think again.
So what?
Many things. Most importantly, I think Steem is undervalued relative to most other projects and will go up. Steem is easy to earn now because many who think like you are posting much less than they used to. The number of dapps is increasing. I suggest you find an app that rewards you for doing something you enjoy and use that app. Lots of people are using Actifit, for example. They would exercise anyway but they use Actifit because they can get an upvote with one push of a button. Follow the app space and take up using one that you love to use and integrate it into your lifestyle. For example, I use SteemPeak for posting my photography. Photography is a hobby of mine. I make about 10-15 STEEM per day by posting a few photos of mine and about 3/4 of that is what I net from using @ocdb. That's currently worth about €3 per day. I could just photograph. But why would not publish my photos on Steem and get nothing? That €1000 is per year (at the current rate) is a nice sum of money and one day the stake that I'm accumulating could be worth a lot more.
When you say that you cannot muster the motivation to post about the ideas that you have, I think the problem is that you don't really want to say those things. You only want the money. Now. Crypto is notoriously volatile. You build and accumulate during a bear market. But you have to do it. Your stake will not accumulate by itself.
