What are your motivations?
To earn Steem, to meet and engage with people and to learn more about things that interest me.

What makes you care, or not care.
I try not to care because when I do I end up disappointed or frustrated. I try to just keep plodding on one day at a time.

Does the fact that content here is recorded on the blockchain — allegedly "forever" — influence what you choose to post?
Not really. The only thing I don't do is post pictures of my grandchildren because their Dad isn't keen on it.

I also sometimes censor stuff that I say in fear of a backlash or don't speak out at all.
