Of course, I agree with much of what you say. For me, Hive has been a place to develop skills I didn't have, and here I've always felt encouraged to try new things. But Hive has become a way for many people, especially Latinos, to support themselves financially. The guidance I give is based on what is “usually done” (which is not an absolute rule, as each curation project is independent and votes according to its own criteria).

It is reasonable to think that if you are just starting to write, it is likely that it will not be good and it is also likely that you will not get votes. In that sense, if you are counting on getting votes, my recommendation is to do something you already know how to do.

I like to support, as you say, people who make an effort and enjoy what they do (even if it's often not “the best post”). But one thing I can't do is vote three times on the same day for the same user, because there are many other people who are also making an effort.

That's what I mean.

Danke für deinen wunderbaren Beitrag! 🤗
