RE: Upvotes don't always come your way and supporting Minnows

in Rant, Complain, Talk2 years ago

I hear you buddy, what you are talking about happened to me too sometimes in my early years on the chain. It´s funny though because as probably most of us, I posted some of my very best material (like photos from my best travel adventures etc.) when I had just a fraction of the followers and support I have now :D :/ And yeah, some of those posts remained practically unnoticed... I don´t want to repost them though. It motivates me to collect new fresh material to post. Btw very kind of you that you support the little accounts. Whenever you find a real undervalued gem here on Hive, feel free to nominate it to my upvote giveaway that I host every Saturday, it will be my pleasure to support it ;)

Hey man, thanks as always for the kind support, we just keep on going, isn't that it and as I say to be fair, the majority of my posts get to approx. $5 and some lucky ones can get to $20+ so I am also lucky as the vast majority of people outside of journalists are getting paid nothing on the web2.0 sites, so I will happily keep plugging away here and as @samsmith1971 rightly points out above, many of us come for the Crypto rewards, but stay for the friendships we make here.

I have two great contenders for your upvote giveaway, is it too late for this week or can I share now on your post?

Yeah, good points :) For posting stuff on Facebook, you get nothing but more and more annoying ads cluttering your feed. For posting stuff here on Hive, you always earn something. Yeah, it can be just a few bucks sometimes but that´s still better than nothing you get elsewhere, right? ;)

Sure, go ahead with those nominations, I will check it out...

That's it exactly, I became disillusioned with Facebook a long time ago, and Hive is one of the only places I go to online now, other than the likes of News, Weather, Crypto and Sports sites. I don't bother with any of the other social media, apart from Whatsapp for staying in touch with my friends.
