i am one of the newer generations of users i'd say. investing a bit in the beginning and now working really hard for the steem i get. so i don't understand people behaved like this back in the days. they'll regret it probably
Right now earning 10 steem per post means being succesful. In the beginning, people were making tens of thousands of Steem per month, and some of those users (gladly just a small % of them) already left and sold everything. There are some horror stories I don´t really care to share, but knowing how some people are, we are better off without them :D
It's great to see newish content creators like you and some others I was lucky to meet with the blocktrades sponsored contest, that kind of content creators is exactly what we need right now.
