So here I am, again. I've made progress with my health issues and am just now getting back on my feet. I've kept an eye on Steemit, but haven't made any significant posts or investments.
I've been thinking more about writing, and Steemit might be a reasonable forum for this, although I don't know that I have the time for the full-length, detailed editing that usually goes into my scientific writing. Perhaps I should use a post length as a means of forcing myself to write? How about 200 words per post per day?
I like making videos, and my recording setup is much better organized than it once was, but where should I post? DTube clearly isn't reasonable since the videos are routinely deleted. I do like the formatting of YouTube, and the relative ease of finding an audience, but I'm not fond of YouTube and Alphabet's tendency toward censorship. (They aren't necessarily going to censor me, but the principle of it bothers me.) BitChute? Maybe I should cross post in YouTube and BitChute? Would I be considering YouTube at all if it weren't that my videos seem to have recently found a following?
I should comment about Steem and my view of the recent price drop. Even at $0.35, I think this value is still a little high compared to what it should be. I'm looking to invest, but not until prices are around $0.20. (My $100 invested at $1.70 was foolish, but I learned a great deal playing with this money.) I do believe that the value of Steem will rise, but only once the coin becomes useful. It has a great deal of potential, but I have yet to see anyone take positive strides toward recruiting and keeping users.
