Go. Leave. Goodbye.

I have a bit of a concern with your accusation that Steemit is a scam though. You compare this site to paid to click sites. I have been on many of those since 1996 so I have a bit of experience with them. First of all, those are scams. You click an ad and wait up to 30+ seconds to earn 1/10 of a cent and repeat in hopes to accumulate the several dollar minimum payout.

Steemit is nothing like that. You like something, upvote it, comment on it, share it. Guess what, most of those things make the author a bit of cash, and some of that comes back to you. How is that like paid to click sites?

Second, how many paid to click sites let you cash out after as little as 24 hours and depending on how popular your writing is, cash out quite a bit of money.

Granted, when I first joined Steemit, I made a whopping buck in the first month or two here. I only recently started writing in different categories about things that were popular. Guess what happened. I started making money. You may call this self promotion and the like but I call it giving the readers what they want - content in a genre they like. That is just part and parcel to anyone's success - you have to give the fans what they want or you are not going to make any money.

So, with that said, your leaving will have little impact on Steemit or the members here. If you wish to stay, great. If you wish to leave, go. Either way, you don't have to announce it in a self promoting manner while bitching about self promotion being the only way to make money here, if at all.
