I can easily agree with you. I've to mention that's extremely hard to find real support in the platform. Unfortunately consistency relies on both a solid project and also a solid income (or upvote as you want to say).
I love that you are first and foremost a steemian creator, and that's something that it's extremely valuable.
I'll try to become one soon enough, I'll start Aerial-Italy soon.

wish you the best with Patreon too @silentscreamer
