I have been discouraged, too-- believe me. But I am just thankful to have upvotes on my content. That means someone else got some enjoyment from my writing, and that feels good.
I have stopped looking at the dollar amount rewarded and have paid more attention to Steem rewards. I feel much more optimistic when I use Steem rewards to power up as a long-term investment, or commitment, however you want to look at it.
I am here for the long run, and I think those of us that stick with it through the ups and downs will be the ones who experience success. But that is just my opinion. I have a lot to learn yet on Steemit.
Yes i totally agree with you! Its spot on! Even though alot of our upvots are from bots its good to get them! And then hope some whale bots are programmed to follow them so you actually get a proper payout , they were working good 2 weeks ago! Then slowed right down! Thanks for replying! 😉
You bet!
