I think that this is one of the problems many content creators have on Hive as they look at their each and every post payout as an indication of success or failure and often, they do this in comparison to others on the platform
Your actually right because some content creators may seem unhappy If they notice their post is not actually getting the desired reward it deserve when comparing it with others but what I believe is that to build oneself is to continue doing the right thing and at the same time never relent because success or the desired reward will come someday.
It isn't an easy process for many, but for example: over the last couple weeks you have been commenting here, I have noticed that your comments are improving and you are putting more effort into making them relevant and, how you present them. This means that I am more likely to reward it too.
I really appreciate that because I believe that's the work of been consistent and new ideas will definitely develop to make changes
You are doing well, keep it up!
