Good stuff. I have delt with Steem burnout and sometimes I find myself forcing a break from here just to get my voting power back up.
I have seen a lot of what your talking about. I equate it to personal growing pains, as well as platform growing pains. I do give much more heed to the less rant driven and more thought out complaints or addresses of grievances.
I have thought about what it would be like to become a full time steemian as they say, and I don't have the following of the motivation it takes. One whslevote going away from the full time steemian equates to a decent paycut. Living post to post and not paycheck to paycheck sounds even harder, like you are placing too much trust in others to keep yourself going. Nothing against those who try though.
To me this I'd more civil then a rant. Safe flight man, im glad we have you on this platform. I made a challenge for people to share their most profound life lesson. You should take part if you get time between your travels. Or just read some of the entries and show them some love :) . I would say they all mostly qualify as pouring their hearts out!
Nothing wrong with being burnout, altough I try to avoid it at all costs, sometimes it is worth it. I stopped working a 9-5 just because of stress and burnout syndrome so I avoiding it like the plague but that doesn´t mean everyone should... but sometimes people don´t want to be burnout but they end up like that because of the insane goals and objectives they set for themselves :(
I gotta tell, there are only like 50 full time steemians who are not whales and yet their rewards can allow them to live like that... while there are thousands of those who Steemit is a bonus at the end of the month... to really resign to that monthly paycheck is hard, really hard.
I will definitely check it out man, that sounds like a good contest.
