I don't see much Dtube on your posts lately; from what I see it's easier to make $ now on DTube rather than article posts.
I'm sorta laying low myself knowing the effort is not worth my time yet. If we're not well noticed by a whale (usually it takes building your platform in the OLD steemit days) or producing just off the wall top notch content, we're all left in the desert which is a big problem; people have to READ but many do not want to read unless its crypto/steemit related of course!
I think the problem is too decentralized, too many newcomers looking for a buck. And the old timers don't want to just give away their funds.
Not enough jobs in (America, etc) and thus there could be millions of "writers" but are they all worth reading? No. So I have nothing important to say right now to be writing :( even though I find it fun sometimes and like analyzing things.
