I'm a mixture between creator, investor and observer. I think it's important to stay engaged with the community, while it's also very lucrative to be creative here. My self confidence when marketing myself has increased ten fold as I was somewhat anxious putting myself out there. The rewards were too good not to try and since putting in the effort I now enjoy it. I don't have a lot of time to create content, some months I do whereas other months I do not, and so I tend to spend a lot more time observing between work hours. There's a lot of different reasons to be here and I think other investors will come to see that in the future. The investors that like plagiarism/low quality posts are idiots, as it's the original content that creates real value here for audiences of all genres. I think maybe those users are less "investors" and more "gamers": people who would rather game the system than see it thrive. Short term mentalities are not needed here, and in the long term there are endless possibilities for what we'll achieve as a community.
I really liked this post :)
Thank you for your reply Sensei TK :-) Your feedback is always very important to me. You made very intetesting point about shifting between different types. I myself shifted to observer on few occasions when I had no time to post or were a bit burnt out. I agree about short term mentality. Short term mentality is never ultimately beneficial for any community or social system.
