Steemians can get grumpy when the price is low.
Don't mind all the problem solvers and the angry folks.
Remember that the blockchain is pretty much the only ruler of Steem.
The blockchain just does what it does without judgement.
It sends rewards to people after it calculates votes, both up and down.
Find some people who you like what they write about and support them.
If in that process you see something you really dislike or think is bad for the platform give it a flag.
If something doesn't interest you, pass it by.. ignore.
If you do those three things you are exercising your influence with your stake.
Lots of people have opinions on what is or isn't good for Steem.
Many of them state their opinions as fact.
Some days I get triggered by it and sometimes I am more in touch with their ability to post what they want.
The price is down, but the whole market is down, so I am not taking it as a reflection of Steem.
Usage is pretty steady.
Everything is okay
