I feel ya bro ... It's how it is, well we haven't joined 50 guilds, if we had there would be maybe 55 people reading your posts :D which around here is like 5 stars :)
I'm really thinking of doing vote for vote with good authors, I've been trying to support people since at least half a year, automation helps in that regard, currently I'm thinking of getting rid of some of my main people since they are now making ~10 in payouts so my 5 cents would be someone else better, or actually myself, since nobody bothers, we've kind of all been there, some people dig down in their field, others just stop caring and start doing something better, I kind of quit around 3 times too, it's a bad habit if you let it become one..
I can say there is a lot of good, but most people forget about it quite quickly .... so it's quite sad, a system geared towards endless bullshit .... all day, seven days a week ... shill on, yeah sounds better than steem on ... fuck off, @ dear lazy whales :)
