Thanks for this honest appraisal. I have only been here 2 weeks and I am excited by its potential, my main aim as an activist was to reach more people on a platform with no censorship. The fact you get paid for that passion is amazing, I think the key with Steemit is that it can often feel like nobody is seeing or looking at your content but you just need to persist. Rome wasnt built in a day :) Resteemed
