Hi Eliana! There have been lots of ups and downs in those 3.5 years. I don't have any immediate plans to leave as long as people are enjoying and interacting with my posts.
In all my time here I've never seen the price of Steem stay so low for so long. Part of the price slump is the overall prolonged cryptocurrency bear market but some of it is not related to that. A lot of people here believe the platform is improving (and I tend to agree) but I'm afraid Steemit's reputation to outsiders is in desperate need of repair before the price of the currency will rebound.
