RE: How Being Too Nice Hurts Steemit
gj with ur post, rly good article
I'm just kidding, the issue you're talking about is very real and you encounter it almost everywhere. I put a lot of time in the few posts I've made so far and most of them get barely any attention, which I'd be fully okay with, if I didn't regularly get decently sized rewards for comments which literally took me less than half a minute to write. It's downright demoralizing. I mean I'm still very new and I'll take any bit of Steem Power I can get, as I have a lot of catching up to do and so every little bit of support I can get is very appreciated, I just wished the appreciation had a better balance considering how much effort I put into each post/comment I submit.
I already see many people who properly upvote only comments that add value to the post/discussion and whenever I comment I try to either answer a question, bring up something new or at least put some effort into my response to explain why I agree to the post or liked the article. I really hope we can face this and the many other challenges to ensure the longevity of the platform. I'm already trying to think of ideas to share that could potentially help the community flourish and prevent or at least slow down abusive behavior.
I feel your pain ! I have written many well-thought comments, which don't get noticed or even replied and that is demotivating. But I believe that in the long-run people like us will have more and more power and we will change steemit for the better. Keep grinding, my friend !
