RE: Earn Your Damn Audience First Before You Start Complaining about Engagement

in Rant, Complain, Talk • 3 years ago

Doctor who hates apples... I think I already heard that one 😂. Another nice read dude. I think I am one of those people that also want views but doesn't have the skill to captivate any audience. In a way, this post is like a wake up call that every post I make will not be a banger and get many upvotes. It is essential not to stroke your ego so much especially in this platform becuase Hive has an upvote system that involves money. If every upvote you get went to your head and inflate your ego you will get deluded and think your content is worth the views but in reality it is just some dude upvoting every post for curation reward. As a blogger... I mean a shitposter I should hone my skill and make content worth the click.

Your post is like you are talking about me but in reality I think this is just human nature and many people feels ths way. I must work in my entitlement issues because nobody wants an entitled prick that thinks the world revolves around him and expecting everthing to be served in a silver platter.

The post blew up and I just slept right after I posted it. Wonders of the blockchain. Here's a piece of advice to being happy with your rewards, expect none of it and just let people decide how much value they want to put into it. If your number 1 fan happens to give only 0.01$ because that's the most they coudl give at 100% with their stake versus someone that gives 0.1$ with 5% of their stake that doesn't give a fuck about your content, who do you think is worth keeping in your circle?

Depends on your priorities really, some would opt for the latter because that's that puts food on the table and this is a real scenario. Some just post for the money and feel entitled to more attention because that leads to more money. When I made this shitposting account, I only had one goal in mind, not to clutter my main account's blog page but still have an avenue to shitpost the hell I want so that meant 0 expectations that it would go anywhere. Do what you love and worry less about the rewards, you live happier on the blockchain that way.
