Hello ladies and gentlemen--and to be politically correct, trannies too. Most of you probably don't give a shit, but as I know that about 30-40 of my 1130 followers actually do follow me for my content, I felt an explanation is owed to them.

So why am I fucking off? To put it simply, I no longer consider my time on this platform to be enjoyable, nor productive. I do have a lot of gratitude towards Dan and Ned for what Steemit was able to do for me. If it was not for Steemit, I highly doubt I would have discovered my passion for writing, which is why I will always appreciate having come across this platform during my journey through life.

I also know exactly what I want to do thanks to this place. I have worked a ton of jobs in my life, and in spite of typically being very efficient at whatever I do, I have never had one that lasted long. I either end up getting fired for poor timekeeping, shitty attendance, or for not quietly allowing someone to talk to me like I am a piece of shit.

Some people, including my own family, have interpreted this as me being a lazy cunt who doesn't show respect to those I ought to, but they are wrong. I simply don't enjoy working to make other people rich, as I feel like a little slave-bitch. This is also why I have never allowed someone who believes they have power over me to speak down to me.

So yes. Creating content, making people laugh and think, and getting paid for it, sounds like something I can quite happily deal with. In fact, it sounds fucking ideal. However, at the moment, this is not what Steemit has to offer me.

There's not much I want in terms of material possessions, and so I can live on quite modest means. I am 100% certain that I could make a living from Steemit, but that living could not be achieved through simply creating content.

It has been recommended to me far too often, that if I want to make more money on here, I should go and make an effort to read and comment on this and that so others will come and do the same for me. I loathe to hear the suggestion.

I don't want people to read my shit because I read theirs, and I don't want people to vote for my content because I voted for theirs. Nor do I ever have any desire to read anything I would have otherwise not read just so that some cunt will pay me in either attention or upvotes.

I want to be rewarded for creating content that people enjoy or find useful. I am simply unwilling to play all the other games of deception here. So until Steemit is about rewarding content and not trading upvotes through mostly disingenuous niceties, there is no place for me here. I will never be able to succeed here without betraying my morals, and things would have to get a lot fucking worse for me before I'm ever willing to do that again.

So no, this is not about a lack of faith in the platform. In spite of my Mass-Steemicide post, I have come to believe that Steem will play a large role in the world of tomorrow. But that role doesn't look like it's going to be a good one to me anymore. This really could have been something.

It could have been a demonstration to the world on how to succeed together, instead of on the backs of your brothers and sisters. It could have been an escape for all the fuckers out there working jobs they hate in order to survive on the very lands they were born. It could have been an opportunity for all of us to discover and cultivate the passions that are lost to us through the distractions of life, and the reward aspect would have provided people with the time to do that by negating their need to work 40+ hours a week.

Instead, all we have now is a machine that cultivates deception. So many people on here are learning, day by day, minute by minute, how to better pretend to give a shit. How to better pretend to be people's friends so they can profit from the relationship, and how to better look out for yourself while ignoring the plights of others.

The behaviour of people who spend too much time on here is effected, and they gradually become more self-serving. Some will disagree there, and say it's the opposite, but I would refer you back to the many suggestions I have been given to go and comment on other people's posts to raise awareness of your blog or get comments and votes. That is self-serving, but people are just getting too good at convincing themselves otherwise, or making excuses for why it's okay to be dishonest in this context.

This is why I am leaving Steemit. I don't know where I am going to go to create content just yet. Perhaps YouTube. It's all about money but at least they're fucking honest about it. But, to those who care, I will post on here to explain where you can find my content once I have figured that part out.

I think that's it. Don't let this place eat your fucking soul, people.

Also- I know I have some of you to send funds to. I will do it later or tomorrow.

Goodbye for now, fuckers.
