Yes, I say that sometimes in my posts and that's true. I also think 99% of all these people here are for the earnings. You can't deny it, not you! I mean all of us. But Idk....I think you can feel the ones who truly love to write and the ones who are passionate to blog about different things.
WOW! you wrote a lot of posts! Really WOW! I also have 6 yrs on the platform. In January there were six, actually. But I wasnt that consistent as you have. It was hard for me to focus on writing blogs on the chain since July 2018 until...let's say 2021. That period of time...I shared too little. Anyways I also joined steem because there were crypto involved and I thought that is something I would enjoy doing. Writing, I mean. I already had the passion to take photos with My PHONE ofc😁🤣, and I thought why not sharing those and earn some money?
But now...I don't know. It changed a lot the way I see things. With every post I write, I am fully in! I can't post it if I don't feel I did my best!
I dont comment just for the sake of commenting, you know that. I really enjoyed it, I really thought its nice to see a post from Bucharest and your writing made it easy to be enjoyed! And I also love B&W photography so...ANd Yes, I noticed what you wrote!
I agree with you.
Beyond the possibility of getting paid for writing, which I still find unbelievable, I have another reason to be active in Hive. I was afraid that after I retired I would have nothing to do and would get bored. I've seen a lot of bored and useless old people, I feared I would suffer the same.
Now I have found that I am not threatened by boredom and that I don't have enough time for everything I want to do.
What I find remarkable is that we have evolved and learned here to write and set up a blog.
I remember when I first saw a post of yours. I don't remember what year, but I remember that you posted many, many photos, too many photos.
In the meantime, we all learned the measure, and we gained experience.
At this point, you write some of the best blogs here. The text and graphics. I like them a lot and you can see that many have noticed these blogs.
You must be pleased.
I enjoy reading them and thank you for that!
