No thank you for being so welcoming. I might sound cynical at times but as a whole my experience with Steemit has been a positive one. Especially in terms of my interactions with the regulars. Most of that has been pleasant.

You bring up some good points, but the crowd will judge the site superficially like they tend to do with everything else. I mean, I'm somewhat of a loser, but I've got some justifications and explanations. People to blame, fingers to point. All that. That doesn't matter to general public, even if I was totally vindicated. But yeah, the issues are probably super complicated nuanced behind that magic curtain, or whatever.

You're right about the impossibility to ignore AI. That's milestone stuff. Maybe some of it is just marketing hype, but ChatGPT has kept improving. Recent changes like allowing basic users to upload files is a game changer. Just in terms analytics.

Thank you for mentioning Steemworld as well. That genuinely helpful!
