You can always say whatever you want to me, speak your mind. I'm easy going enough. And I don't mind admitting I'm wrong when I am.

You made my vlog personal. I didn't want to go that route. Just from a basic point of view, I was stating that the content I made would be tough to sell anywhere else. I made it work on Steem but a lot of that has to do with the SP I bought and the connections I made and well all the time invested and researching steem. I've been more consistent then you posting too.

I just still don't see myself as a big content creator more like an early miner. Maybe that's my flaw. I am that guy that stumbled onto a platform and rolled with it. Not in a million years could you have told me 3 years ago I would be vlogging in my garden. When I compare myself to content creators on Youtube with millions of followers I don't come close.

When it comes to content creations on Steem it can't just be about relying on the reward pool. There must be a better value proposition than that. Even for you. If you could sell art for FIAT through Steem and buy STEEM with the sales or accept STEEM straight up for sales that your buyers have to acquire on the market that would be amazing. Blogging and sales would strengthen each other. That's the Steem I want to see.

Same for big content creators. You say they bring no value I disagree. The last time they came around they couldn't monetize their content outside of the reward pool. Now they could start their own community on Steem and Steemit inc. would also love to see some more eyes on their site now that they have revenue models in place for themselves. Again they can strengthen each other.

I use Appics like I use every app on the blockchain. They will get there own token and as soon as they can I am assuming they will use an SMT. Then content made through Appics will no longer appear on Steemit.com and rewards will be in SMT. Appics has recruited big influencers to curate content in their respective categories. I will continue to use Appics because it's an amazing app but will I be rewarded in the SMT, I don't know. It's not up to me.

I'm not downplaying your efforts one bit. I hope you can make steem work for you and sell lot's of art with the help of Steem and keep creating content here.
