How is hive "easy money", I refuse to believe I'm the only one that gets stressed out by autovotes XD
I absolutely do really appreciate them but the pressure to keep up the quality to be worthy of them is kind of intense but I have to really fight with my brain to not feel bad about posting progblogs as otherwise I'd pretty much never post
I hope the front end with no downvotes does better than a not-hive project I was checking out that also had no downvotes. That one did not go well.
There are a few places that have no downvotes I think, none do so well.
The autos do put some pressure on to both create and stay engaged. Personally, I never have or will take them for granted. One thing is though, most of the times the autos are earned over time, where the content and creator become trusted.
Have you tried any out?
They really do x_x
Nope - I am only on Hive. I have looked occasionally, for example at Blurt and seen how it is not a place I want to be :)
Absolutely. One of the many reasons I've always posted less and less when the price of Hive is up.
And, if you get auto-votes, then it puts you in the sites of the big down-voters as well.
Besides when you start calling them out and they zero out all your content, their main reasoning for down-votes is posts with "too many earnings" and "too many upvotes."
I guess that's a problem that's going to come with the territory x_x
Autovotes are easy to not stress about, if you post content you're not that comfortable with receiving a lot of rewards on, you can easily forfeit part to send to @hive.fund (the DHF) or something other non-profit or a project you think should get more rewards. It's of course hard to say how much rewards you're going to get but I think many would appreciate the sentiment and not downvote compared to those who never even think about this and post their daily posts out and lose their minds when downvotes do occur, it's easy to see that they only care about the rewards in some cases.
I have the type of brain that adores making entire mountain ranges out of singular worn down molehills ^_^;
I have considered the sending-to-DHF-fund thing but...
All my posts have beneficiaries (the most I take is 90%). Even years on (I think it's four?) I still have exactly no idea how to evaluate a post. If there was a way to cap the earnings and bleed off excess to DHF or wherever, would me capping my progblogs (which I try for weekly but can vary widly according to my quality standards) at say 20 hive and anything beyond that goes to DHF is that still considered too much? With the current tools I have available on peakd, if I just took 50% of the post payout, is that still too much?
There's not going to be a straight answer for this one XD
and I'm not even considering the people who seem to be against the DHF for whatever reasons
So I currently don't and scream internally the entire time >_>
As someone picking up a lot of autos for a post, I struggle daily with wanting to write but fearing there is not 'enough' there. So, two/three times a week is where I've been at for a while.
If it's any consolation, my progblogs are weekly and I still struggle XD
You're struggling with how much you think "enough" is? Or just that whatever you're doing isn't "enough"?
