Dropping truth bombs here @eaglespirit! Love it warrior woman!

I got into Steemit as an alternative outlet to build my music, online business and mission to improve our planet by raising consciousness, and because it really seemed revolutionary in that it seemed to give more power back to us, the content creators, rather than the corporations - so yes, I got into it for the money-making potential and for the recalcitrant activist revolutionary potential, but quickly found that I loved meeting the people here, so the community aspect is what won me over.
Unfortunately, I've been subject to unprovoked attack from a couple of popular yet actually fake "I'm a kind person" smiling assassins (something akin to high school group cliques), as you are aware, but my overall experience is that it's a great place to create world-wide community because most people here seem to be on the level.

Anyway, great advice here...
