Yeah, I signed up early and got over 30 folks signed up during the alpha sign-up phase and even bought a niche. When they went to beta in the spring I was not very active but in the summer I spent a solid month and a half over there and it was not pretty, in my opinion. I did recognize a couple of steemians over there but didn't see much from them. I ended up posting daily this summer strictly in the color challenge niche and did ok as far as earnings.
There was the eternal argument of what makes a post a quality post plus there was one self-appointed Sherrif running around downvoting everything that was not up to her standards so I divested.
It is too bad to see it go though.
