> Who do you think the most underappreciated author on Steem is?

This is a really difficult question to answer with some medium equanimity & accuracy. But nonetheless, let's give to this a shot.

**I fundamentally think, that the most underappreciated author on Steem is actually that one who is still to be discovered.** 

In more than three years that I have been wandering over here through the most hidden and sordid alleys of the steem blockchain. I have tripped over countless **underappreciated** authors. And without caring or paying attention to what others did, I prepared to support them with everything I had at my disposal. 

Not much indeed. But basically a few humble cents with the strength of my weak SP upvote, enriching interaction and above all, showing inquiring interest on the unique topics developed by said authors with well thought, inspiring and provoking comments.

This was indeed a discouraging solitary task. Watching, that even when I tried to resteem a great deal of their posts, no one seemed to show interest in joining my efforts to avoid that these singular authors give up sharing with us their unequaled and very well underappreciated  content. But yeah, I'm aware I'm a pretty twisted bird and I recognize that my tastes are equally twisted in terms of content to consume.

Therefore, I only said goodbye to them when they informed me that they would leave the platform and would go to play their fantastic muses/music elsewhere. Yeah, I did all I could. but clearly it wasn't enough.

However, I still have the hope that one day they will return even if it is just to say hello and greet me.
