Most definitely have had very similar thoughts and feelings with steemit, and not to mention have said hell with facebook, as I see no underlying point in evening logging in(unless you want to communicate with close family and friends)... but really, who wants to rot their minds?? Not me lol glad you have found a place here on steemit. It is such a wonderful ecosystem as you mention and I can't wait to see where this journey takes me and so many others who stumble upon this wonderful site. Cheers to the new year
