It's taken me a little while to realise that all my Steemit income was coming from a tiny handful of people. Still beats YouTube$, and I think Steemit has a future, we are just very very early arrivals. Like all these things; vegan years before vegan was even called vegan, sungazing way before our time, and essentially it's not our job to force history to keep up with us pioneers. Many have lived & died before their message was fully understood, only to be loved later, by generations that followed after. Maybe they'll admit it when we're gone, let our spirits live on, in the lyrics that they hear in our song........ ; )
