People start off well, are welcomed politely and are also given a lot of "tips and tricks" needed to survive here on the chain. Yet, many just run out of ideas soon enough, especially because they're trying too hard and taking it all a bit too seriously.
This is a form of social media we have here, and many forget that. If the newbie users stuck around and tried being natural, tried being themselves instead of trying to change who and how they are, then maybe we would have many more active users right now.
Also, many can't follow the trend and randomness of Hive, or crypto itself. One day they're getting votes, and the other day they're not, and all of sudden they're thinking that this is the end. People like stability, and that is why most of us human beings would rather rely on a job, a measly and steady % of return from a bank and other investment plans. Instead of "risking" and investing in something that grows we'd rather make less, and take the safe way out.
Many don't even see the potential of Hive or crypto, that is why they lack vision, a plan; that is why they end up quitting after a few months.
It is not easy to stay creative long-term. I'd like to believe that anybody is capable of it, but some people just find it a whole lot easier to do than others.
If you ignore the stress of rewards and treat Hive like you said it is, as a social media platform, then it all becomes so much more enjoyable.
Hive itself may be incredibly stable, but the rewards are the complete opposite of that. You never know who will reap loads of HIVE each day.
The fact that you understand what's going on here so well tells me that you are destined to succeed and remain around here for many years to come.
There are a lot of capable people here, users who aren't as active, but surely have the potential. It's just that some of them can't manage the time, and they're okay with it too, they take a bit of time off and then come back and post and engage whenever they can. That's how it should be actually, but most of the users just give up then and there, and that's just sad. Instead of setting a strict routine, we should all take it easy, and not stress ourselves too much about posting a lot or the rewards.
I've never been a "short-term person" it's all about growth and the long-term goals for me. Even though some of my "tactics" may seem a bit odd, still they do workout quite well for me.
I'm much safer with long-term goals and results, the short-term gains may seem intriguing, but it also holds more risk, and luck surely does not like taking my side when it comes to such things lol.
So, no matter the ups and downs, I'll be here for a while. 💪
I’m a huge proponent of a low stress lifestyle.
Great to have to around always.
Low stress lifestyle is the best lifestyle haha. Cheers man. 🥃
