Yeah, I think stuff like that is frustrating. Seems like Steemit is kind of in a static phase with not enough development being done to encourage communities to develop. At the very least, I console myself with the thought that nothing written is ever wasted. I can always use content I produce on here to create a resource or a book. But, yes, in the meantime, some of this is frustrating.
