Calling all my fellow bronze vets!

Hello there, Im a bronze veteran. 1K+ games in bronze after playing in it for little over a year. I peaked bronze II 20 or so LP. I propose questions to my fellow bronze vets: When did you accept you were never getting out? What do you think about the stigma surrounding us that basically says..we're bots, and do you believe, like i do, that there are different skill types of bronze players?
