Cancellation of Candidation as Steem Representative

Subject: Cancellation of Candidation as Steem Representative
Dear Steemit, Inc.;
Through this letter, I, @aneukpineung78, would like to humbly announce my decision to withdraw from my candidacy as Steem Representative.
I made this decision after considering various personal and professional aspects, and in order to maintain the commitment and quality of contribution that I should be able to make in this role. I feel that the increase in my current workload will prevent me from optimally carrying out my responsibilities as a Steem Representative as expected by the Steem community.
I, even in my capacity as an ordinary blogger, will maintain my commitment to support the Steem ecosystem as a creative environment that values creativity, and continue to nurture positive hopes that Steem continues to develop into a solid creative community, despite all the problems and pros/cons that arise within it.
Thus I respectfully submit this letter of cancellation of my Steem Representative candidacy.
Cc. @steemcurator01, @steemcurator02 (even though I don’t really think talking to you guys means talking to Steemit, Inc., directly). I suggest that a new approach be taken so that the community can easily communicate with the SRs and that the SRs answer any questions related to their positions as SRs and would not easily take offence because after all they have this responsibility to the community and the community has the right to ask questions at any time. Or is it that they don’t bear such responsibility? I have seen some SRs get so intimate with Steemians who like to lick their butts, and ignore -and get offended by- those who come with critical questions. Is this what Steemit Inc wants? After all, it is impossible to prevent people from owning and prioritising their circles, but at least provide strong controls so that the ‘secret society’ that @oneray illustrated in his comment can be minimised and avoided.
Special mention: @weisser-rabe, I know you said no one likes to do it (and now that I am steeping down), maybe you were right, but there are another 58 applicants remain, and I think, out of them, Steemit Inc. (or whoever get to decide) could easily find more than 20 accounts they like for this position. After all -in my case- it is not to like or not to like, but to do it professionally or not. I guess stepping back is the best choice for me now, since I will be busier in the nearest future with my work and private life.
Thanks.
Sincerely,
Your one and only orange MOuSE of the House,
@aneukpineung78

What can I say except that it all together makes me sad since you are one of the most dedicated people giving insight in all aspects of what you do Steem(it) related?
I find it good you considered and go for yourself since trust, loyalty, reliability and countability should come from both sides next to the time it consumes.
It feels as if there's a huge lack of manpower, time or interest if it comes to answering, giving updates and fulfilling tasks, no matter which one.
If the fun is gone and only stress and frustration remains and juggling while tiptoeing is the result, it's good to consider what it's worth it (see the Sunday prompt of the freewriters).
If it comes to your last two remarks:
Any numbers yet about the other tasks done by those mention in your post about Steemit Employers?

Tu comentario me dejó pensando… porque pone en palabras algo que muchos sentimos pero no siempre decimos con claridad: esto no es solo una cuestión de cargos o tareas, sino de relaciones humanas, de confianza mutua y respeto real.
Cuando alguien con tanta entrega como @aneukpineung78 decide dar un paso al costado, cosa que me parece lamentable, lo primero que debería generarnos no es solo tristeza, sino reflexión: ¿Qué está fallando? ¿Por qué alguien tan valioso siente que no puede continuar? Y lo más importante: ¿Qué podríamos cambiar?
Me quedo con una frase tuya que lo dice todo: Si el disfrute se va y solo queda estrés y frustración… hay que preguntarse si vale la pena.
Eso también aplica para nosotros como comunidad. Si no hay diálogo, si se prioriza el amiguismo y se castiga la crítica honesta, nos vamos quedando solos, y eso es lo que más debería preocuparnos.
Gracias por sumar con tanta lucidez. Y espero que este momento no se pierda entre posts, sino que marque un antes y un después.

If you hoydt of kezen da you can read my last post.
Tu carta, mi querido @aneukpineung78, es mucho más que una renuncia: es un gesto valiente, lleno de honestidad y amor por esta comunidad. Así es como lo siento desde este pequeño rincón del mundo digital en el que compartimos tantas anécdotas cargadas de historia.
Leí la publicación muy temprano, cuando me preparaba para salir a trabajar, pero no podía dejar un comentario a la ligera o que no fuera digno de esta publicación.
No todos tienen el coraje de hacerse a un lado cuando lo creen justo, y mucho menos de alzar la voz por lo que muchos callan, quizás por miedo a incomodar, a ser malinterpretados… o simplemente por no querer enfrentar represalias, aunque, te confieso, en lo personal no me ha tocado vivirlo tan de cerca, o al menos eso creo.
Cuando dices que ser SR no es solo un título, sino un compromiso con una comunidad que espera respuestas, cercanía y respeto, no puedo estar más de acuerdo. A veces se siente un distanciamiento que enfría el entusiasmo, como si el reconocimiento dependiera de a quién le hablas o qué tan "conveniente" resulta tu presencia. Y tal vez por eso, son pocos los que se detienen a leer con el corazón y dejar un comentario sincero, aunque el texto sea sencillo o cotidiano.
Gracias por escribir lo que muchos piensan, pero pocos se atreven a expresar. Incluso sin ese rol formal, tu presencia como blogger sigue siendo importante. Ojalá esta carta no se pierda en el ruido del día a día, sino que despierte una reflexión profunda sobre el rumbo que queremos para este espacio que tanto valoramos.
Un abrazo enorme desde este lado del mundo... donde todavía creemos que la verdad, dicha con respeto, puede ser una semilla de cambio.

I regret your decision, but of course I understand it. You would have been a wonderfully uncomfortable SR. Maybe... there will be something completely different in the future. You're not out of the running yet, I think ;-))

Well, my friend, I'm really sad that you won't be staying in that group.
I understand your reasons, and if the feeling of being ruled by arbitrary bosses bothers you, follow your common sense and your intuition.
I'll be one of those who miss your statistical analyses.
Still, I'll continue to be one of your fans. 🎉🎉
There was a quote from our kitty friend that made me stop and think. I don't remember exactly, but it confronted me with my dependence on SC votes on Steemit. I still said enough.
P.S.
What plans do you have for the arTeem Community?
If you see anything I can support, I'm at your service.
Ok, thanks
