I get that steemitboard notification from time to time and in truth, it is a morale booster for me. I like knowing that in this journey I have gotten to a particular level and I have achieved some thing more than the steem power or money.
I have not posted as regularly as I used to, in a while but then again I am weaning myself of the responsibilities that took me away from my blog, so I am back again. 😂
I think for many people it is a reminder of the journey and perhaps has some effect on their next post. Some people hate the notifications and see them as spam.
Welcome back and we can chat a bit later if you want.
