Interesting article buddy, I have not seen that email, I never received one it seems. I am active regularly on steemit, though have dropped off from daily posts since the HF. Now half that output or less, not inspired by the feeble price of steem, and the bad FUD around steemit. Seems the system is rigged especially since HF21 in favor of the whales that own the most steem, the original lot who got loads of steem from the start. Going downhill by the looks of the steemit scene.
Originally I hoped steem would return to its former price but now I'm doubtful so less inspired. There are other social media crypto sites.
