Exactly my thoughts. I value my post like a piece of art, something I've worked hard for and produced out of creativity. I am not really desperate for reesteems or followers, because if they really really see the value of the content, they will just come naturally.
I also comment and upvote posts that deserve it and at the same has some benefits to me.
Unfortunately though, the good quality content just get drowned there easily. The system should do some filtering or maybe a customized view.
That's indeed the right approach. That's what I meant about the difference between artists and opportunists. I can see you're an artist. An artist values their work while an opportunist goes around hustling for votes.
You seem to be doing just fine :) It took me a month to attain the level you have in a few days.
You'll be delighted to hear that a Subcommunities feature is releasing soon. It'll work like subreddits in Reddit and should help discoverability immensely. So, you can make a post about travel in the Travel subcommunity and it'll have a far greater chance of being noticed by people who are interested in travel.
Thanks for the feedback, I have never thought I'm an artist. I just write away. After my friend sees that I'm making some money, he accused this platform as too good to be true. He said, easy money. Doubters gonna doubt.
If he only knew that it's not easy to get those experiences and write about it for like 2-3 hours! It's just right to get rewarded.
I can't wait for that feature!
