I have tried to get many people to know this wonderful platform that HIVE is, however they give up very quickly, only come for "easy money" I can understand that people get discouraged quickly, but if you arrive at a place where you pretend to be welcome without being you who gives the example, you are already wrong, responding to a comment does not take more than just minutes, I really agree with you, some people who take the time to read your content and also reply to yor content is really nice, i love to read those positive comments and of course reply them.
Definitely i heard this phrase a lot "Hive is not for me"
Unfortunately there's no easy money on Hive. And getting 10 welcoming comment is really a privilege as not all the newbies get as many. So they should really appreciate it, but this is something you should learn at home, at a very young age.
