Unfortunately, it is not like that as to what I have seen in six and a half years. I have seen that many quality posts were neglected or undervalued here. If only you post everyday, at least one post per day, you might have chance to get bigger upvotes some time later.
I no longer see any effort here to make beginners, who write quality posts, to be consistent.
I have to disagree with you on that... I didn't see any Hivian who were posting for that long (6-7 years) + curating/engaging other posts of other authors, to NOT succeed... A combination of both, for that long time, will bring results 100%...
I'm not talking about $100 upvotes, but rather about $5-$10 upvotes... Those $100 upvotes are more a lottery thing or "reserved" upvotes for "privileged people" (which I don't like to see, but it is what it is...)
But, I also agree that some quality posts aren't "visible" enough, but that's OUR fault... We have to reblog and help out them to become more visible...
Do you have any examples of such authors? I go through the feed every day and struggle to find many quality content which I'd love to curate
...plus many nice users who were producing DECENT CONTENT were kicked off, or frustrated and left Hive. they really had reasons to, and left their goodbye posts with sort of explanations... but probably that would be a bad idea for Hive newcomers to start acquaintance with blockchain from this kind of posts, lol. 😂
