Yes, perceptions can change in life and you've said true point and that is, we all are coded in a way that, sometimes we become manipulative for our benefits and in my opinion we should leave that manipulative game.

And first of all we should not judge anyone's work no matter how much agree or disagree you are with content. And genuinely speaking your post is truly reflects as genuine blog post and the message is important and decoration is not mandatory and it's an choice, and i strongly believe that mere decoration of post will not degrade the message of the post. Decoration possibly will increase cent percentage in followers.

Life is an real joke or if i speak more clearly then we human beings made joke of life, means, we associate with everything in life with attachment of monetary levels means as you said, when we face all time highs then people will find everything right in us and that is because we hold more influence and they expect vote if we particularly talk about Steemit, and same way when we face lows and when we cannot support everyone they will discontinue conversations because they are not getting the monetary aspect.

Earning is important but in my opinion healthy relationships and conversations are more vital because this way we can move towards the healthy economy and world. And in my opinion we have to stay away from the Good times - Good words and tough times - tough words.

Keep up your work and remember one thing, everyone is passers-by aspect in life and we have to follow our heart because we know what is the true way.

Thank you so much for giving value to my work through mentioning.

Wishing you an great day and stay blessed. 🙂
