Right... to answer the first question of your vlog and for some reason people are ignoring that... "When was last time you truly enjoyed music?"
Well to that I answer: All the damn time, every damn day.
I have to. It is my oxygen. Not only do I listen to music while I write fantasy, I can listen to music while I write a work e-mail. I sing in the car as I drive... lately I have been "tuning in" background music in my head while I am listening to people talk or when looking at things. Like I remember the whole song/tune in my head and overlay it in my head... makes my existence awesome. Try it some time. ;)
Anyway... for the rest. I agree some people are annoying. On one hand you say "people are being disgustingly nice" and on the other "if people give "unconstructive" criticism or insult then mute.
It's a fine line to walk in that case. Yeah people are possibly earning by being nice and money encourages being nice. Kinda like when you have a job and there is an asshole customer... yeah... Smile and wave.
However, Steemit can be like a long Que of door-to-door salesmen... By the time you've seen your 50th then the moment a new one open's their fucking mouth then you just want to put a balled up newspaper in there.
That is the mute button.
Haha, I laughed at that salesman example.
Yes, indeed, it is a fine line to walk, for people that are fake here on Steemit.
Just don't be an ass kisser all the time and do not insult me.
Your comments are usually outstanding so far Zak, you truly take your time to read the article and watch the videos and then you write your good comments.

For sure. I have an ethical inclination not to make a comment until I have read/watched your post.
If you are a friend or I want to support your content, I might throw an upvote before I have gone through it all because I can tell that it is good content. The evidence is there on the blockchain. Some of your posts there is my upvote and maybe I only have time to check it out much much later. Then you might get a comment. (IF I have something to say. But I won't if I cannot take part in the conversation.)
My one friend posted a looooooong post about Norse mythology, and I gave her an upvote days before I had a chance or the energy to read all of that.

Negative. It's @anikekirsten.
She had authored a book about her research of Norse Mythology. She has 5 Parts about the Mythology as well on her blog wall.
She and her husband @sigrfolkr live in South Africa and are good friends of mine. We used to all live in the same town for a while (about 4 years ago).

I wondered where the pagans are here on Steemit, sadly Sigrfolkr is inactive and Anikekirsten does not focus on Norse Mythology.

True. Sigrfolkr actually got me into Steemit and his account is a bit older than mine. But he posts very infrequently.
Between us, I am usually the guy that is the "demagogue". I will try get him into a rhythm if I can.
Anike is super busy with writing. Fiction mostly.
The search for pagans continue...

@TygerTyger and me are Pagans. I guess you are too?

I do not really make a label for myself on that to be honest with you.
I could write several posts about philosophy and spirituality in order to properly explain myself.
In a nutshell: I do believe that spirituality is important. I do not believe that there is some single one religion or belief that makes all others obsolete. I believe people should have their freedom to believe what they will amd they leave it at the door.
I respect what others believe. Until that they invade my territory and try force their beliefs on me. Often doing the very thing they say others should not do.
I seek the wisdom and truth from every master. There lies information everywhere where it was inspired to be so.
