@forykw I hope you are right. During my period here I noticed as soon as the fuss is over people no longer care. This is not a close community and I doubt it will ever be.
There's so much and envy and greed. In a week at least two everything is the same or worse. The only exception will be for the witnesses. I read steemitblog will pay them way more which means more will leave.
I feel sad about that but gave up promoting Steem. I did it many times with seven77 too but as long as hostility is what most content contains, there are no engagement newbies will only be scared off. To be honest I feel ashamed for the attitude of many hear.
I invested in Steem too but not here but in an extern wallet where I believe it's saver.

Sorry for the late reply. My connection doesn't make it easy to read and answer. It's good to read your optimistic answer.

I wish you a great weekend. ❤️
