I saw a link to this post on the discord truth room and have just spent a few mins catching up on your recent posts. I agree with you about this place. It used to be better when I first joined 25 moons ago but gradually over time it has gotten worse and worse and Stinc, rather than trying to make things better appear to actually want it to be this way.
The trending page is a joke and when new users who are earning nothing from posts they have often spent hours writing see some bullshit post trending earning $1000 it hardly gives them encouragement to carry on.
In the beginning, it did appear as if @dan genuinely wanted to do something good with Steem/Steemit but after he left things started to go downhill. As usually happens, the greedy self-serving people have taken over and have turned something that could have been great into one big circle jerk. As in life, money/steem makes money/steem and if you don't have much you are going nowhere.
I'm sorry to hear that you are leaving as I enjoy reading your work but I am interested in your new investment. I will DM you on Discord for some more info.
As things continue to turn to shit in the UK and the thought of spending another 28 years sat at a desk watching life pass me by becomes more and more unbearable, you might wake up one morning to the sight of a family of four Brits asking to set a tent up in your garden in Portugal ;-) Anything has got to be better than this shit.
Take it easy my friend

Bro you can come and pitch that tent anytime you want, I am though in sunny Poland lol. You are a legend in your own right my friend, and I like your style.
