neat post! It really is a good walkthrough of a number of emotions that I've also had on Steem. I'm also in the Bewildered stage. Personally, some of my posts that I'm really proud of earn next to nothing, while others are money makers, so to speak. I can't make heads or tails of it. I think it really does boil down to needing to engage and build a repertoire with people, like any other social media site.
