It is actually quite an impressive result to grow 5k SP in just a matter of few months.
some of my family members like to call it; This is all you do. Steemit, Steemit, Steemit.
I know that feeling pretty well. This is something I've been hearing from my wife every now and then :)
Back to main topic: Im sorry to see a bit of your frustration for not receiving support to your content (I presume you mean lack of support from curation team).
I'm aware that losing support can be frustrating, however At least you've been supported by them in the past.
I'm collaborating with number of people within our project.hope community and hardly anyone ever got an upvote from them. We've learned not to count on STINC team (I didn't get even one upvote from them ever).
Stay safe,
Cheers, Piotr
