As a guy who has lost some steam in the past 2-3 days, I can attest to the fact that not coming on to the platform as much as I am used to is a little disconcerting. For me it was about commitment to being regular thus the feeling is not of a minor itch but disconcert.
Even then I understand the incentives of being present here on steemit are far more than any other social media platform. Not being here and loosing to make steem is one thing if we consider the dollars made but in my mind the loss becomes more apparent when I consider the the fact that we earn Steem and not Dollars. While the value of Dollar has historically depreciated the value of steem continues to rise. But I think this feeling is quite common to the people of crypto space.
