I tend to agree with you. While I would love to see more returns on my posts, at the same time I'm building for the future.
While some may believe Steemit is heading to the dustbin, I don't think so when people are still buying in. The buy ins are not yet overtaking the powerdowns but it will come. Those who can see the bigger picture will hang in. Those who can't, will grumble and mumble, even scream about it and then largely move on. The sooner they do the move on, the sooner others can focus more on building.
