Agreed... we are often stubborn. But at least we can apply wisdom...

For example, I am on this site blogging because I miss social blogging (which will be my next post, this morning!) and here's a venue. But I am FULLY prepared for Steemit to go away tomorrow, or next week, or next month... as I am yet to see a site like this succeed, in the long term. And so, I make the conscious choices to (a) enjoy myself while I am here and (b) backing up every single piece of content I create to a file on my hard drive so IF there's suddenly "nothing here" I can shrug, say "well, that was fun!" and move on without a great sense of loss...

But thanks for your comment... you offered me an important piece of insight! I realize, just now, that I don't believe this time is going to be different, I merely hope this time will be different.
