To be honest, I don't count on votes, which is different what we all hope on.
But I do know how the economics work and know that I only have a slim chance on writing on post with double digits rewards. I guess it would be easier to win the lottery. If I would play on it.
I can't espect a lot of comments due to the fact that I haven't written so much in the past month. Strange but most the comments I am getting, if any, I am getting on the Steem side and not on the Hive side.
So what do I hope for. Both comments and votes of course, but there is no expectation. I just write because it has become part of the daily routine. I write because it does trigger other braincells to work.
It would be great if people do read it, but if not than they don't.
Stay safe,
Peter
Consistency of activity is definitely a key factor in both getting reward and comments.
The Steem side has people looking for something, since there isn't much there.
The triggering of braincells is a huge factor for me also- "proof of brain" :)
