Yes I have been putting in the work from the day I arrived on Hive. Dare to scroll back to when I started you will see a Herculean effort with my posts. But it wasn't until I started delegating for vote support until I started receiving fairer rewards.
Discord has indeed help me gain some degree of visibility but rewards have not followed from visibility.
Yes, the comment I wrote is enough to warrant good upvotes, but watch how it won't get those votes.
After seven months of solid and sustained effort and after creating and hosting my own Discord show alongside an endeavour to reawaken the official Hive Discord server, which has succeeded, the average payout for my posts are still around $2.75, before curation rewards.
I think the level of rewards would accord with many people's experiences on Hive and the amount of time it takes to build a network.
I can agree with this. Which is why "incubating" people makes sense to me. With a lil help, they can stand on their own feet eventually.
I've noticed it 😉
Also we need to get some visibility 😊 Unfortunately we (@topcomment) don't have that much power to give you a massive upvote, but our stake is slowly growing.
