Seems Quiet Here: Scroll Through My Blog Someday and Read the Comment Section and Of Course This Title Has Nothing To Do With The Post

^{Damn I miss that, those days, and a lot of you. I haven't seen so many of you in such a long time.}

That's okay though. We all need our space, sometimes.

Get used to saying that.

^"Welcome"

People will start coming back soon.

Don't hold a grudge.

It's been an incredibly difficult time to be here. Not just lately either. For a long time.

A lot of little projects popped up. Some of this community, original diehard "Steemians", as they were called; they left. A lot of those little projects, knockoffs, and clones of what we're doing here, copied some of the same problems or went backwards, or screwed up, royally, in no time.

I won't mention any names of those projects though, and I'm glad I didn't waste any time double posting.

I'm a huge fan of mistakes.

^{Once you make one, and see yourself, honestly; there's the new and improved you.}

I don't blame those people for leaving. Majority of us here are powerless. Doesn't matter what you say, how you say it, where you put it; yelling at the clouds.

Until the ball finally starts rolling again. Maybe I did make an impact. Maybe some of things you said did matter. Maybe they were listening; instead of talking.

Palnet

^{The epitome of perfect timing.}

The answer to so many questions.

Will 50/50 work? Yes. Even though many said, without any proof, that nobody would work for 50%, and even though many said, without any proof, people would earn less; Palnet proved them to be wrong.

People are flocking to Palnet, even though curators take 50%.

And look at this:

^{Palnet version.}

^{Steemit version.}

Currently, one PAL is worth $0.16. I earned about $1.40 more in PAL. Forget about the selfishness though. Who cares about me. That post generated $9.12 for the entire Palnet community members who contributed to that post versus the $4.06 placed in the hands of the Steemit community.

Of course I'm happy to be a contributing member of both communities. It's all STEEM. All I'm noticing is how much more value could be placed into the Steemit community under a 50/50 system with more curators willing to contribute. More people willing to vote means more to the content producer, even though the content producer takes a smaller percentage, plus more value generated and dispersed to curators.

Everyone earned more in this example.

If I'm not mistaken...

^{That's a good thing.}

And I'm certain once people begin to contribute again, instead of getting paid to look away, like they do now on Steemit; I have a strong feeling many who left, will return. I have a feeling, they will want to contribute.

I'm not going to hold a grudge. I know some folks aren't going to like me too much, for being so outspoken about a few problems in the past. If people are voting again and skipping over my work if they see it, just because it's mine; that's fine.

I can start again.

Anyway

^{I just felt like writing down some thoughts tonight.}

My humor posts lately haven't been performing too well. I've been experimenting with comedy again so of course I miss the crowds. It was cool though to see a few stop in and tell me I brightened up their day. As ridiculous and obscene as some of those bits can be, the goal is to make someone out there smile. I know that sounds lame to some of you out there but trust me when I say, it's important to me.

Art posts have been doing well but again, the art is nothing without eyes to see it. I think I can do better once the crowds form.

Here's an old one:
^{One of my favorites...}

^{Had a Rough Night}

And the first one who can share the song that went along with that image above when it was first released will receive a 100% vote. Simply place it in the comment section below.
