'The last few days I see more and more posts appearing about 'not been seen', 'no exposure' , 'Ghost followers',
I am one of these posters who have mentioned this in fact yesterday here:
Are we in it for the money? When there's money involved we tend to behave differently.
Many people say, 'I'm not in it for the money', but subconsciously I think we all are to some degree. I wont say Im not in it for the money because it would not be true. But its not big money and it wont feed my family.
I get more of a kick from someone upvoting my post and adding some comment to it other than 'good post'.
I also love the creative element of writing. This is not Facebook, we dont do 300 word articles on there, but we do on here, there is a difference.
To me the recongintion is more important with some follow up debate, and then the money. Thats my order of importance.
Let's be honest indeed, the trigger for most of us is/was/will be 'we are getting paid for our posting. So yes we are all here for the money in one or another way. That's for me not any different, but the philosophy behind it is what intriges me a lot. If you invest time it's no shame to get rewarded isn't it. Although (not that I have much already) I won't take any steem out. I will keep investing in Steempower.
I can adopt your order of importance :) Recognition is great, proves that your contribution counts for something. Commenting is a great way of express recognition, interest etc.
Thanks for your reply !!
