Should I take a break from Steemit?steemCreated with Sketch.

in #hr207 years ago

As you all know Hardfork 20 has caused a mass amount of issues. Let me just say I'm not here to add to the drama and fuel the fire in anyway. As all you fellow video creators know...creating a video is a lengthy process of editing and even creating an Idea. Imagine how it must feel when you post your video and your upvote is the only one on there. Not even one comment posted. It's not only a letdown but you feel was it even worth the time. Therefore I may just stick to blogs and Steepshot for now since I will still be able to engage with you all but it's still worth the same amount of upvotes with less the work. So as the title says...I am not leaving steemit but I might switch things up until the smoke clears with HR20.

Love you all and remember...

Create and Motivate.

Give it two days. Everything should be back on track at that stage plus whatever new additions have been brought in with the hardfork.

I have not given up yet either but I see no incentive to post currently, it’s like being a newbie all over again! I struggled a long time to finally find my audience recently only to have them all disappear or become inactive. Furthermore I am insulted at the lack of concern for the complications this is placing on everyday users and the projects built on chain without any concern. Instead I keep seeing “hope for the best” posts everywhere, such a slap in the face!

No I wouldn’t waste the time creating videos under current interaction levels either even though it’s part of my therapeutic outlet. The real concern I have is how many projects will survive this downturn? Even steemitboards which is backed by 3 witnesses has announced they need approx 33k delegation to continue functioning at a much lesser scale.

Will #OneLoveDTube survive? It doesn’t look good right now to even be able to continue the same level of support we had been previously! Many different aspects to consider and most discussions end with constant self reinforcement from the believers that everything will be fine should we just wait long enough. What about the people that are living off of Steem? I cannot afford a week off work so imagine how upsetting this must be for them!

I am at a loss for words with this situation, we now have a whale only platform and those whales don’t give two @d00k13’s as long as their witnesses keep making money! Oh did I forget to mention, this hasn’t really affected the witnesses incomes? They still get Steem for generating blocks so of course they wouldn’t care how it affects the rest of us!

yeah this has been a pretty lousy week. especially for engagement and comments on posts. the hardfork really messed with the community feel and relationships we’ve built for so long.

i do think things will improve though. and once it does this place will have a fire lit under it.
