I'm happy you beat the odds and are still alive to tell your story. Many others in the same situation weren't so lucky. You being alive to give your opinion shouldn't distract us from the fact that the Steem community appears to be shrinking and losing credibility/relevance quickly. You survived against all odds, but that doesn't mean Steem will also triumph in such a situation. We can't read too much into your survival. I myself have been on the brink of death before, and another time I was told I wouldn't make it, and many people I know have similar stories. Most people who have been alive for a while will end up with stories like that. The dead tell no tales, which is another way to say, if they were able to speak they might not be so optimistic about Steem's chances.
