I don't write HIVE articles very often, you can see the amount of comments left.., it's like a full time job responding to them, and I try to get around to them all.
It's been a continuous losing battle getting people into the right mindset. They tend to come from Facebook, and here is very different due to the money aspect.
The larger you become the more influence you have, that's how it has always been, but you have to use that power wisely.
I can only imagine how much time it takes you to respond to all the comments. You do a great job of getting through them. Honestly, I barely have time to manage mine, and I get only a tiny fraction of what you receive.
Money certainly makes a difference, but I believe the general mindset has shifted significantly. We want things to come easily, and if people can grab a few bucks here and there, or even thousands, and run off with it, many will take that opportunity.
I get this mindset, shoot, I honestly do it at work sometimes depending on what needs to be done. However, in my line of work, even if I go the extra mile, I don't receive any additional benefits for it. But here on Hive, it feels like if you're willing to go the extra mile, it can really pay off.
When I started here, I got barely nothing. It was STEEM then, and by the way.. take some time to read about the divorce in March 2020. It's a captivating story.

But as I was saying.., my posts where getting $0.00. It was disheartening, so when I see you come along and invest a load of fiat into HIVE, I don't want you seeing this. It's a shitty feeling..
