You have some point. Often it happened to me that I have made a big effort in writing huge articles accompanied with my photos for which I always try to be as great as possible but getting very little feedback and sometimes not even a lot votes and also just a bit of crypto.
Still I like how this blog is made cause through it I can also promote my work in blog-photoessay form by sharing it on the other social networks.
I've seen recently how monomad community is growing & gaining attention & was so happy about.
I still believe that here are too less participants who can really write a criticism in comment or express any opinion on photo-art subject.
I stopped hopping about that. I prefer when some of photographers who really have some work to show, sometimes better than mine, write me a comment.
Anyway I believe it's still worthy to participate in here cause of the multiple purposes.
Thanks for mentioning me! It feels good to be here in this company.
Thanks for your comment.
I don't know if I agree with that statement. I see myself as a photography enthusiast and there are many better photographers here on Hive. But I can express my opinion about a serie of photos.
I hope we can create a change....
We are already changing it!

huge thank you for the participation to the conversation.
i hope for the best also inside of this platform :-)
That's one of the reasons why we are here!
Few years ago I initiated "Selfportrait Photo Contest" & was giving awards from my own pocket.
I was explicitly emphasizing the difference between a portrait and a self-portrait and a selfie but I still was getting a bunch of portraits & selfies instead of self-portraits. Also I didn't ask of any support from whales in the form of delegation so that I can give bigger awards but also I didn't get any support voluntarily from any other participant of Hive. After some time I shot down the contest cause I was very much disappointed by the entries trying just to get crypto with really shitty photos, not respecting the rules, just spamming.
That was another experience here that made me not getting involved too much here & live the real life that is happening around me.
absolutely understand you. I hosted the daily posts with #mydailyinspiration tag and the daily hardly filtered and selected series of 10-15 images of the high quality photography and as well awarded people from my earnings in the m0n0mad when my rewards were not too bad. after a few month of doin that i felt empty and destroyed due to the daily endless browsing for the new and unrecognised by the system artists, and no whale was putting any-any attention so i gave up on. Than i decided to concentrate on my own art, finally i'm a photographer not a curator and photography critic.
Exactly, I can get much more response from the physical life community admiring my photography or employing me for different shooting. Also getting paid in physical life in photography is still much higher than this digital world.
