I will do the unpopular thing here and start off by saying thank you!
Thank you for investing on Steem
I realize that the platform has many shortcomings and I also realize that many of the "rules" are not very clear. The fact that you bought Steem and powered up does not go unnoticed to me, and as a small investor of the platform I appreciate you did so.
I would also like to extend a helping hand
To you and offer to explain in great detail how this whole thing works. To me is not relevant if I believe in your product or if I don't. You are hustling, you are working, you are doing your thing and that I can respect.
However, I think I can help you find a better approach to your investment on Steem and maybe, just maybe that can produce better long term results.
If you perceive the community as angry, that is because they care, and some are better than others at explaining their concern.
If you would like to talk about this, I'm available on discord: meno#5416
