Back in August 2016 I set up my first Steemit account @sift666 and did lots of posts. Sometimes I got good payouts, and sometimes I didn’t, but I actually did pretty well overall, mainly because I got so pissed off with all the bullshit on Steemit that I powered down my Steem and sold it while the price was still good.
All the time I was posting as @sift666 I had a take no prisoners and suck no dicks attitude. Sometimes that got me flagged, blacklisted, unfollowed, and occasionally hassled by whales. One of the topics I regularly covered was vaccine dangers, and it was fortunate I had a large curator looking out for me or I would have been slaughtered.
Ultimately most of the best content I have ever posted online was on the Steemit blockchain on my @sift666 account three to four years ago, and I want to share some of it again on Hive. But I can't be arsed with flagging, or claims of plagiarising that might come up if I repost my own content, so I have turned off the rewards and plan to see if I can get back some of my old attitude when the financial aspect of blogging is removed.
The sad truth is that for me, being an investor is an impediment to letting rip on my blog posts. So my @sift66 account is not for snowflakes, and I hope to start doing some uninhibited free expression again, with no desire for post payouts or popularity. More like the old days!
