I think that's an excuse if whales say 'they are too busy'....We run a witness, develop countless projects on Hive, plus our offchain businesses and still have time to engage and show up. And it's frustrating at times, because anything CTP seems to do, generally is ignored by the top people on chain save a few awesome people.
I completely understand the frustration. lol
But again, I can never (just like you said) rely on anyone or any votes, all I can do is control my effort here.
I've actually never been told that by a whale, I just think it is the general perception. Yeah you guys are a perfect example. I know it is the bear and all, but with 50 comments, I'd expect this post to have earned more than $20.
Yeah it's frustrating, I see a lot more people on Hive do a lot less for this blockchain and get rewarded much more. But alas, that's not my decision on how much I get for my posts.
All we can ever focus on is our effort. And I've got faith, it'll all pay off down the road :)
Appreciate you man, thanks for coming by the blog!
No problem! I always enjoy checking out your stuff! Your group does do an exceptional amount of good for the blockchain. I hope you get the return that you deserve one day.
