WOW!
In terms of economy, I agree with you that desperation is at the door while they are deceiving attention with many kinds of news like aliens and so on.
Here, well, I am really glad you came up with this topic. I have to be honest. I felt frustrated a lot, when I see me writing articles that requires efforts, researches or articles where I share my deep experience in the crypto-space and I can barely reach 1 dollar in tips.
Then I see other posts, with some images thrown there getting much much more.
I do not want to sound polemic, but yes, I think that it's not a simple matter of words and thoughts, but also of connections, empathy and simpathy.
But if you have more suggestions I will be more happy to receive, since I am really enjoying your way of posting (and that is why I am dropping here frequently)
There are many sides to it and it often also goes in waves of support and then deserts :)
However, it really is about building the relationships with the audience and often, that lasting relationship isn't through the quality of content, it is the character of the person. It takes time to build personal relationships to the point that stake wants to support that network. Perhaps I should write a post on it :)
