brings to mind something I'll add to the next iteration of this post...

It is HARD to do something (post to the steemchain, in this example) when there are no immediate benefits. So the low price of STEEM right now makes it harder and more stressful to post.

And sometime I cheat to beat that, too...this post is a redo from 2 years ago ;>

Yeah, I'll definitely start doing that at some point as well.

When you post quit earning rewards after 7 days what's the point of updating them rather than just rewriting them with the new information and creating a new post.

we all have ways that we think Steemit should go; the successful folks are going to be the ones that adapts to what Steemit IS

but it can be frustrating!
