Yeah. Totally!
I've been working very hard for practically 7 years (which, by the way, will be completed this month) writing at least two posts a day, participating in other project initiatives, interacting with users, paying attention to all the news from Hive and I know what how positive all of this has been. It has been an incredible journey, and everything has been so worth it so far.
I confess that I really miss better support from big curatorial projects considering the quality of what I usually write (especially about reviews of films, television series and music albums), but even so, I have been constantly growing gradually. This keeps me motivated to continue, but one day I hope to be better recognized (in many ways) for these projects.
Thank you for the encouraging advice (it's really nice to read something like that), and I invite you to check out my blog and read a little bit about what I publish.
See ya, @ph1102.
Wow... 7 years is a very nice accomplishment!! I hope I will not miss your "celebration post" that will come soon! 🙂
Hive is a strange beast... There are many people with bigger or smaller stakes, and everyone has their own opinion on what "HIVE should be"... Some don't like to see people posting every day, or people posting multiple times per day, or people posting only an image, etc. I want to say that you can't please everyone...
When I went to the #HiveBeeCon meetup in Poland last year, and did a post about it, I didn't expect that 2-3 whale accounts wouldn't like that so much that they muted almost all accounts for every participant... I'm telling you this just to show you how some actions have no sense at all... 😃
All in all, I stopped worrying about the "whale support", and focused more on my content, and on people who support me, and I'm trying to support as much as possible them with my own manual curation, with my own stake...
The result is what you can see in this post... Not that big upvotes, but a lot of comments and support, which is more than I could even imagine! That's what counts and that's why I'm here... To support each other and to grow together!!!
Cheers! Have a great weekend!
