Thank you so much for sharing this post and your thoughts on where the future of this platform. I just wrote my 3 month evaluation today and I was talking about how I've seen a steady increase in followers but not Steem/Steem Power/SBD. While I may not be looking to make a living off of Steemit, I do see it as a valuable source of income. I post constantly on Facebook and Instagram and never see a single penny. At least here I know people genuinely enjoy my content and I can make a little bit from my work as well.
