This information greatly upset my cats and they asked me to make a video about it to help. Hopefully, the people who are thinking about leaving will see it.
TL;DW
Try to have perspective and gratitude regarding payouts.
Try not to compare the present to the past.
Try not to compare yourselves to others.
Understand that Steemit is not just a blogging platform.
Realize the importance of community, friendships, and Discord.
Think of Steemit as a Long Game - try not to place too much importance on the dollar sign next to your post.
Try not to get wrapped up in idealism - just like life, Steemit may not seem fair or perfect....but it's still frickin awesome.
Cats.
Discord Communities
