Understood.
I have created a community with the purpose to refocus people on the advantages of consuming and curating. I honestly think this is an easier path to take for beginners and it helps one become a better content creator eventually, if that is the path one takes.
But honestly if I get people to be full time consumers, I think the positive feedback they get from people who appreciate them reading their content and commenting will keep them on the platform.
Plus there are some manyways to make money by curating and upvoting and commenting, versus depending on upvotes for your content.
I think it's a net positive for the platform and a positive for the new accounts.
As I browse around I notice there are very few doing what I'm doing.
I agree with you here. I don't want to discourage you either. For me every time I get on this track I become burnt out. Stopped creating and only consume now. Voting manually. Supporting what I enjoy. Being the change.
What causes the burnt out?
I wold like to avoid that.
LOL it's years and years of trying to show people all the potential, while not getting anywhere beyond conversations under posts.
