I have the habit of just continuing what I do on Hive regardless of the ups and the downs.
Yes, it hurts when one sees a bad post with a huge income, but I have learned to avoid any negative thoughts and it helps a lot.
Even us, the slow ones with quality posts will get there some day and for now let's just continue to post every day.
Btw. I do 2 posts every day to try and make up for the low income on one post. The income is not for myself, as it is for our charity.
