This makes a ton of sense.
I have some posts that didn't get very encouraging upvotes but has good engagement and I was satisfied. knowing that people actually read your posts makes making them worth it.
The no upvotes thing can be discouraging too but people engaging with my posts brings me some comfort. I guess we'll just keep making posts and engaging while keeping our fingers crossed that somehow one whale will notice us enough to visit once in a while and give encouraging upvotes.
The emotional part is something I think we don't talk about enough. Our offline life affects our lives on hive too but I think some of us forget sometimes. The truth is you can't function properly if you don't feel okay physically, mentally and emotionally. I just hope that none of us have to take long breaks that'll alienate us from hive because of those problems.
Exactly, I've experienced this too and it was really encouraging.
Omo that's just it my dear, nothing less.
Amen to that! 😌
