We have to thank @felixxx for finding you. You commented on his post criticising the curation BS a couple of weeks ago (or so) and made comments I resonated with (my bad not upvoting them, I was too fed up and feeling like I might never log in this thing again).

One of the top reasons I came into Steem and later Hive was to shield myself from the exact same BS you mentioned. G+ kinda provided me that till it was shut down. Well, guess what I found here...pfff...humans - you can't change them much from the animals they once used to be when they first walked the earth.

I'll definitely jump into your blog on next chance. Apologies for the long overdue :)
