I get what you're saying bro, I personally came here because I was getting so censored on Facebook with hundreds and not thousands of friends/followers just randomly deleted. I agree there is definitely an air of desperation on Steemit which takes away from what it should be about, which is celebrating creativity. I wont lie its nice to get upvoted and ear a bit, but I get much more satisfaction from people actually reading what I have to say. Thanks for the feedback and the book is already out on the links attached to the article :)
