I completely agree with you that quality matters most than quantity and adding passion, personality, and effort can make a huge difference in the engagement and impact of a post or comment.
Regarding the situation with your topic being used by the Ladies of Hive community, I can understand why you feel that way about copying ideas. However, I believe that it's also possible that they may have been inspired by your topic and wanted to explore it further from their own perspectives.
In any case, I appreciate your generosity in making your topics available for anyone to write about. Keep up the great work
Yeah, some don't have the creativity to devise their own thing, so they get inspired by someone else's.
