You're right.I had been asked a few times how much am I making per month on hivr and when I told them I never withdrew my money,they started getting weird.
Its nice to have freshblood in our ecosystem.But when they are all in for just the money,posting mediocre posts,then that's not even worth my time and effort.
A blog that Sounds interesting and captivating is difficult to do here in hive
I think that the money can be a motivator but it won't make us go for very long. It's the personal connections that matter in the long run. It's your friends on chain that will connect with you that make the difference I believe.
