"One of the major bottlenecks of being a creator in the web 3 space is that you have to pander to a certain group, which I find very limiting. Also, there are no real metrics to estimate how much one can make, so for someone doing this full-time it can be very unsettling."
Also at some point, if you are successful, it starts to irritate the Reward Pool Watchers.
So having a growth plan on both is not a bad plan if you take it seriously, I came thinking my time was an investment, but now I stay do to enjoying the community and staying connected to what is happening in crypto via Leofinance.
I have had private discussions with people who plan on leaving the ecosystem soon because of this reason. There will be fewer people to police soon enough.
I am very close to this point in my hive journey. Asides from trying to stay active as a content creator and improve, I am mostly here to support Leofinance and the work Dan is doing with 3speak.
