Amazing write-up and the great issue being discussed!
I honestly haven't experienced any sort of engagement on steemit in a very long time shame to see the current state of the community kinda dead most replies I receive are from bots that I delegated SP to so I get upvotes in return to my content creations, It's been a blessing being around Steem when things were "Mooning" and community was so much more alive hopefully this will come around again as most people are motivated by $$ and gains but again the ones who are left are the "creme de la creme"... Kudos!
