Poof Here I am and Poof Here I go

What's up read.cash peeps? Another year is ending and Christmas is just days away. I hope all is well and may the holidays bring joy to you. What is up with the title you may ask? Well let me give you my thoughts on it.

As I click on the notification bell I see a span of articles/short posts that go out three days in one page. Not many people publishing articles and most are short posts. I'm not a huge fan of short posts because it has taken away from published articles. Not now but in the past there were a cluster of them that just hid the efforts of those publishing articles. Was it really a good idea by the the Admin deciding to air drop on short posts? This really pushed me away from the site after awhile. I just seen so many people abandon writing articles. To me, it seemed like it became watered down here. Now I'm not saying all did this as there are more than a handful that continued with their efforts.

Many look for support from the random rewarder. Since it was mentioned of his last tip last December it's been really spotty. It's tuff to stick around when there is nothing to be rewarded for. At the time I stuck through it and spent much effort to motivate people to stay. We can all sit, wait and hope for a turn around but should we have to do that? I have always wondered why no updates are available from the Admin. Good or negative I believe as bloggers we deserve these answers. Why not propose what's in store or least gather some feedback from us?

So what happened to me here? Yes I admit I have disappeared like a rabbit in a magicians black hat. A lot has to do with being a lot more active in real life. Also so many fellow bloggers have found refuge in Hive. I moved to the platform and reconnected to so many that use to be here. I guess you could say it has an old feeling of read.cash with those former users but under the platform of Hive. So I spend almost all my blogging time there. Since being there I have wrote many more articles than I did here.

Another reason for my disappearance is I'm not as financial stable. I like to read and reward the authors but without any air drops I can't afford that much out of my pocket. My BCH balance converted is at $.08 USD now. Well I think I did my fair share here and it was so fun here the first half of my time here. To be honest, now I wish I was on the receiving end 😂 As bloggers we need motivation to keep writing. I'll admit I lost that here, not just monetarily but engagement seems not to be as great as it once was.

I haven't quite thrown in the towel as I do stop by every once in awhile. I just can't be the user I once was here. It's not easy to admit it but it's the hard truth. I am grateful for this platform, after all its where I first got my start as a blogger. The other reason is the many of users I got to know. So poof here I am and poof here I go. This has been my activity here over the last few months. Not gone for good but it may be awhile before you see another article from me.

This is all I have at this time. I really wanted to explain my long absence here. Also wanted to poke in here to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 🎊 Take care, stay safe and I love you all ❤️
