It's a bit frustrating sometimes when you write a lengthy post in a community and don't get much votes. Then you write a short post in snaps or threads and it gets upvoted more.

You can't expect every post to get upvotes unless you get on some autovoter trails, then they become more guaranteed unless the service goes down or the voters decide to pull you off from their list.
For myself for instance I've noticed that some of those voters only vote 50% compared to 100% on my 2nd post of the day. It'd be way more rewarding for me if I posted daily or for instance put this one on a schedule and let it post tomorrow instead of having days where I go 10 days with no post at all.
If however you aren't on any autovotes yet than it's quite normal not to get any votes on some posts, it shouldn't discourage you. You should look into how much rewards you earn on average after a certain period rather than looking into each post individually.
Auto-voting is evil; by its nature, it can only cause harm by introducing even more imbalance that already exists.
Also if you've received manual votes, think of it this way, some curators are out there looking for posts like yours to upvote all the while getting no extra rewards or returns compared to if they had just set up an autovoter. Another thing to think about is how many posts do you stumble on yourself daily where if you had the voting strength you'd make sure they'd get better rewards compared to just tending to your own posts/comments/snaps.
