Hey Kenny, great post as always.
You mentioned that you're making drastically less now a days, than you did when you had less followers. I am fully experiencing that right now.
When I got started, one of my first posts made over $300. Granted, it did hold an epic story- but I'm still posting great content, and only getting pennies back.
I believe that this platform still has great potential. But what do you think? Has Steemit gotten diluted with bots, and people seeking cash instead of quality content?

It was always somewhere around 80-90% people just gaming the system to maximize rewards, that's why the same 10 people have been the highest earners for a year now.
It's even built into the system itself: if you vote on a post early, and a bunch of whales up-vote it after you, then you get a huge amount of curation rewards. Thus, the more that a creator generally earns, the more that people are going to flock to their posts to get the benefits of the whale auto-votes they know are coming.

This is a little sad, as with time the site might not stay or become more popular. When new good users join, and they write great posts and then they get close to nothing, most of them will leave. What do you think a solution to this problem might be? Maybe put a cap per day/month per account? Or something else?

It sure seems that way and I'm rather new to Steemit.

That's amazing. I wish you the best at the sanctuary. I did a retreat/work exchange in an ashram in Australia last year with yoga, vegan kitchen, chanting and meditations. I met extraordinary persons and friends there and have a good time with myself. Looking forward to read about your experiences.

Thanks @digital-nomads! I feel like those sort of spaces are some of the most important things we can all take time out of our lives to experience :-)

This is the place that I had my video call with just before the festival started. We'd already been talking via email for a while at that point.

One thing I don't fully understand is how one post can have so many views and then have many times that number in votes?
