Alright, people! Real talk. I'm angry. I'm disappointed. This post is going to rustle some feathers, but it's what I've got for today. So there I was in front of my computer last night. Honoring my commitment to myself, I wrote up a blog post. I find the relevant links, even taken to my old archives to find the picture I used as an example, format it just perfect, and click on "Post". Imagine my dismay when I see a pop-up saying I don't have enough bandwidth. This is as close to a literal brick wall I've ever encountered online. This wasn't a complete surprise though. The "Herald Of Bandwidth Apocalypse" came to me the other day as I was responding to comments. It's something I'd been thinking about since my return. I hear people talk about Steemit. One comment gets heard a lot: "if the whales and the dolphins don't take notice of you, you won't get anywhere." I never gave it much credence for two reasons: 1) I think I make good content. 2) That sounds like the kind of complaint a loser SJW would say. The most fantastic thing about the Internet is that there are no more gatekeepers. There are no more middlemen. Everyone has a fair shot. There is no barrier to entry. To anyone with eyes to see, that's undeniable! But this. This one hit me hard. As I sat there in my chair, looking at that pop up inviting me to buy STEEM, I experienced that as the very infrastructure of this site preventing me from staying true to my word with myself. Naturally scratch that Naturally, this being the Internet, [I turned to a competitor](https://www.minds.com/newsfeed/972733727616638976). I'm amused by the fact that I didn't even do it right. I'll figure it out though. One thing that is resoundingly clear: I need to diversify. I realize the bad optics of complaining about Steemit on Steemit, but it would be out of integrity for me to write about something else right now. Thankfully, I've got a good friend here who was kind enough to delegate some SP to me after I complained to her. Thanks again Binky! Without you, this post quite literally wouldn't be possible. Not today anyway. Not here. I'm going to finish this challenge, but I don't know what the future holds after I'm back to work. I don't like the notion of being sponsored here, but that might be my own ego. Maybe in another couple days, this bad taste will be completely gone from my mouth. One thing's for sure: nothing's gonna stand in my way! If I quit now, I'm no better than those loser SJWs! Thanks for listening.
