Wow man, such luck that I ran across your post! You've really summarized a lot of the sentiments that I think I felt and have been feeling about Steemit. I spent almost 3 years posting pictures on Instagram, but I found that it became disheartening because of the lack of compensation, lack of creative freedom, and a lack of oppertunity to share more than just one photo... Keep up your blogs, I will be following them and reading them for sure :)
