I'd say about 50% of the accounts on Steemit are bots, shills, fake accounts, name holding accounts, and CIA contractors, and about 40% are fully programmed sheeple - but maybe 10% are at least party awake.

You never know what effect your posts are having on that 10%, but chances are there is someone, somewhere, who thought about something because of something you said.

So hang in there and be yourself, wherever you are.
Maybe also check out Flote - https://flote.app - it might take off and it's worth a look - certainly you would get a better vibe there - and look me up too - https://flote.app/FROT
