... definitely understood.  In my own "journey" through the Steemisphere, I have run up against that a number of times.  It really comes down to why you are writing ...  I have just resigned myself to writing about whatever interests me and "let the chips fall" where they will, from there.

A lot has changed since you were last active, with the fall out from HF ~~21~~ / 22.  For example, it is very rare now for people to still upvote comments, due to the EIP changes which don't favor it ...
