I have good days and bad days at work and on Hive.
My job is one of those that if nobody notices what I did, then I did it right. I am fortunate, I suppose, that I am the only person doing my job, specifically. So, there is no comparison to others. This works very well with my personality, which has always been one of marching to my own drum. Also, raises depend on when there is money. They don't have anything to do with my boss's opinion. Everybody gets the same percentage raise. In order to get a larger raise, I'd need to change title. For example, instead of Facility Manager I'd become Facility Director. But, I'd essentially be doing the same job.
On Hive, I suppose it would be nice to earn more rewards. I think my posts would get noticed more if I went around commenting more. The reality is that there are few posts that interest me enough to want to leave a comment. Thus, my work goes meagerly rewarded.
What sustains me, much like your job, is that I enjoy being on Hive and Leo Finance. I like reading about crypto. I enjoy reading about the daily lives of people in other parts of the world. I enjoy knowing that my upvotes help others make ends meet. What's more important to me is that my work is permanently recorded on the blockchain. I don't have to worry about Hive going out of business and losing all my content. Hive allows me to march to the beat of my own drum AND collect a few tokens along the way. I'm not torn up about not being a Hive influencer.
I think that's what people want. They want to be influencers so that they can earn big rewards. However, like me, they lack the skill to attract those audiences. In my opinion, if I tried to force things so that I could attract big audiences, it would become a job to be on Hive. Then I wouldn't enjoy it anymore. I'm content to earn my pennies and browse posts.

That's a wonderful post you got right there.. :)
This is important though. You understand that you would get more recognition if you made more comments. A lot of people doesn't seem to understand that, which is very unfortunate.
The second part is a bit tougher though and I totally agree with you. I use LeoFinance nowadays and as that is crypto & finance related, it can be really difficult to leave meaningful comments.
However, @taskmaster4450le made a post about "The Leofinance 12K Comment Push" where he talks about the Question Challenge. That opened my eyes a bit actually. I mean, even on the most in-depth article about the new ATH for BTC, there's room for questions. I might not have something valuable to add directly to the actual content, but I could ask a question or two that the content creator could answer.
That gives everyone more valuable information and it will increase the overall engagement as well.

You're right. I do this on occasion at conferences. I ask a question to which I already know the answer to the benefit of others who don't even know what to ask.
That's a great way to start conversations. :)
