This is exactly how I'm feeling as an investor too. I came here to support one of the author who encouraged his twitter followers to read his posts here and invest in steem to upvote his post as an appreciation. That I did, but I'm beginning to regret converting my half of my 1200 steem into power which gets locked up for 13 weeks - because of the drama here.
Anyway, this is my reason for investing here as a non-author : "Why the hell would you invest here if you weren't an author, instead of one of the (literal hundreds) of other coins that have next to no drama and are performing massively better?" - yup, perhaps I should be taking it elsewhere if things doesn't improve.
Thanks for the write-up, which answers the questions on my very first post on this platform....
