Well, I am lucky to have some bigger fish following me and voting my posts, and to know some others who I think do care even if they do not support me personally.

You are definitely best to leave if you feel so bad about the platform since the silver linings are a bit hard to see at the moment.

Thankfully, STEEM is not steemit. I am counting on the other users, devs, and creators on STEEM to make this place great and stopped using steemit about a year ago.
