Times indeed have changed with lots of people leaving. The steem-hive hard fork even led many astray with people choosing steemit over hive. Indeed the blockchain has remarkably changed since then. I am one of the lost souls who couldn't withstand the 0$ and took a sabbatical leave from the blockchain. I have been away from the blockchain for 4 years but I'm back now. I wish I hadn't left because all my peers have built good reputations over time and their articles have improved tremendously. I know perhaps I would be a dolphin by now if I had stayed. But this is not a post to reminisce about the past. It's rather to encourage myself and all who are beginning.

Indeed no vote, no attention isn't a reason enough to leave. Thanks for sharing this great piece
