That's too bad @bengiles 😉 in all seriousness in a perfect ecosystem you'd be able to tell me you've had a totally different experience and have found steem to be filled to the brim with support, engagement, positivity, and a rational hope built upon an overwhelming sense of camaraderie.

I suppose that's a fantasy when participating in an ecosystem that at its core is driven by competition first and community a very distant second or seventh or something 😊

All the best to you mate. Thx for your show of solidarity. I think any of us newer steemians that have are eyes opened enjoy a healthy sense of skepticism.. Still here though, and that says something about us more than about steem..
