I must confess I havent seen any posts moaning Steemfest so Im suprised so I will hunt some out and tell them what I think!
I think it looked brilliant and its what a family or community does, has a get together, and has a great time. Im just sad I couldnt attend. I do however stay right off damn trending these days!
I think most of the for me with the big shot you tubers is they were only here for the cash and not the community, they didnt get how much the community and engagement mattered to most people.
I think Steem is great at the moment for me.
I genuinely came to read, then thought I could make a few quid, realised I was a shit writer and couldnt and stayed cos a found a load of people I liked and or respected.
All is good. I'd give you a hug if I weren't such a sweaty smelly foreigner in a tropical climate!
