I think as Hive grows it'll be harder to value each and every person, I'm sure everyone has experiences where they feel that a certain post didn't earn enough compared to the work put in. But, I think the only way to combat the idea of value is to make it mean something else.
For me, writing fiction here is great, because sometimes they can earn a few Hive, but what I find most important are comments and critiques of my work and I feel like my writing skills have grown a lot in the last year of being here, based on advice I've received. Also, I sometimes do tv show, movie and game reviews which gave me the idea to film myself speaking them out and boom; the post is now a script and that script could be used down the line when I finally get around to filming them.
That's one way I was able to shift my idea of value for each post and see the big picture and future goals, while maintaining that inspiration to post as regularly as I can.
Everyone comes here for a different reason though, and wants to get different things out of it, which makes it harder to pinpoint why people might leave.

I agree. It'll get harder and harder to respond to everyone, upvote etc when the population of the community 10x's. That's why I think it's so important to do that now while we still can to build that solid foundation

Yeah you're 100% right. Great post mate!
