I can imagine how you must have very mixed feelings about this coin now! I used to be a huge fan of Steemit too. I started blogging there 3 years ago under another username and got 1500 followers too.

Now I feel stupid realizing how easy it was for Steemit to become centralized. Honestly I also have some fears that something similar could happen to Hive. Still, things seem to be going well for now and let's hope this time round we stay decentralized.
