:(
You are a braver soul than me for saying it as it is! ~ I am way too afraid of knocking my hard won rep!
When I first arrived here it was like a breathe of fresh air but after a few months a person starts to understand that Steemit is a beast controlled by the few.
I often feel like a mangy dog begging for scraps here.
I really appreciate all that you do and can only imagine at the effort, time and funds you must have been putting into the deadpost initiative ~ you deserve a break and success.
Personally I get really frustrated by the 'clicky' groups of folks who only look out for their own :(
I also dislike how people lap up my comments, sometimes with a generous and gratefully received upvote, but rarely reciprocate by passing by my blog and actually interacting/supporting me.
It truly is a dog eat dog world :(
Keep on shining bright my virtual friend.
With love.

I try to remember that if anyone doesn’t upvote me it’s probably because they are spread too thin and forgot, that certainly happens to me. I’m actually ok with the people, I just wish we saw the trickle down economics for what it is and that more people were willing to consider that this may be the cause of all the problems...
I’m always trying to remember everyone and you are quite high up on my list. I’ve tried to avoid doing too much autovoting because I notice myself actually reading posts less when I do, but if I forget you too many times just remind me. I wish we could all feel comfortable writing less so I could catch all the decentposts in my feed! <3
To be honest it isn't the upvote or lack of that really grinds my gears ~ rather the fact that so many never reciprocate a visit to mine.
That said I understand that this all takes time and time is a rare commodity.
I know that you are supportive of my efforts and am always grateful.
Hope you feel better about it all soon ~ afterall life is but a game and nothing really matters in the end except the love and relationships we forge/share and our spiritual growth.
