I BUGGERED OFF FOR THREE MONTHS
On my third birthday back in August I celebrated by quiting all use of Steemit. I was pretty pissed off about having all my illusions totally shattered.
Back in 2016 I was writing posts about Steemit being the future of the internet, making friends, making money, and doing some of the best blog posts I've ever done.
A series of well timed crypto investments and sell offs in 2017 meant that I ended up making tens of thousands of dollars from my Steemit earnings, copies of most of my best Steemit posts are on my own blog, and I still have friends I'm contact with daily that I made through Steemit. So I did well.
But to see a platform that I invested so much belief in, turn out to be a giant scam run by the very people I spent so much time trying to expose online really took the wind out of my sails...
OK, now I've had three months of no Seemit, so I'm going to turn Steempress back on, and start sharing my posts again. It's just an experiment, almost all my Steemit friends have long since stopped posting or commenting, and I have absolutely no belief in the platform anymore. I'm certainly not doing this for fame or money!
Will I still be arsed voting or commenting? I have no fucking idea, but that is the nature of experiments (at least those that are not being funded to provide a specific outcome).
Sorry for being a miserable cunt, here is a lolpic:

Well that all seems to work OK, so I'll leave Steempress switched on, and see how it goes.
:-)
I'm still around...well, I peek in a few times a week anyway, haha! I'll probably get a post up soon, in fact you have inspired me :)
Believe it or not I still find Steemit sort of like a muse - an audience of admiring fans - I know it's mostly an imaginary audience, but it still seems to help me post something occasionally.
WHAT BATHROOM TO USE???
WB. Enjoy the blackpills. Cognitive dissonance is a hell of a drug. While the remunerative functionality of Steem is pretty borked presently, the mechanisms underlying it's potential to enable distributed self governance remain intact, and ongoing development continually sets up and knocks down seemingly random boundaries between Steem and success. It could accidentally succeed due to some unforeseen mechanism at any moment.
Political unrest ongoing globally reveals that folks are ready to put paid to globalism and corrupt centralized social control mechanisms, and the wealth and power of our collective production is being redirected from parasitic cabals to productive individuals by distributed means of production more every day. Millions of folks around the world are developing and deploying means of producing their own food, security, wealth, and goods and services of every kind. While there's no discrete line that demarcates the defeat of neoliberal fascism, as dispersal of personal means of manufacturing continues, the desperation of the banksters is reflected in ever more fantastic and delusional propaganda that strives ever harder to keep people from seizing for themselves their wealth and authority by adopting security mechanisms more advanced than the ancient technology of firearms, which is best suited to projecting institutional power with the force of thugs so armed.
Things are just getting good. I'm looking forward to the panic as sheep and their shepherds begin realizing that legacy political power is utterly obsolete when thugs become trivially prevented from projecting force by microwave moats, personal swarms, and the myriad forms of more advanced security tech that begins now to dawn on the plethora of outraged victims warmongers and profiteers have left alive in the wake of their depredations, and yet threaten. 1000 years is a long time for technical improvements, and the sudden impact of modern tech deployed by individuals newly empowered by decentralization of means of production will demonstrate just how much tech has improved in a millenium. Should be a great show.
Buckle up.
Holy shit did you actually write that or do you have AI doing your comments?
