I agree !! That's what I have been doing so far and hope to keep on doing in the future.
I like what you said about resteemig. I just hope Steemit users don't get too caught up on the the money side of things ( I know it is difficult ). Only today I read a post of someone saying he is beginning to resent the extra effort he is putting on his posts for the little return he gets.
Here on Steemit the concern in relation to quality content seems to be a lot about the money - I might be very wrong! But, one does not see in other social media platforms people stating things such as ' that post got 100 likes and the other far better one only had 3 ', with no finantial gain or loss there seems to be little worry about quality!
Anyways, I am not, by no means, implying this is your case. Quite the contrary, you emphasize throughout the meaningfulness of what is being shared here as well as acknowledging how different each one of us is.
Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I appreciate it!
Being paid for posts makes it really hard to not access the value of the post, and then even our own self value, based on the payout. It's taken me the best part of a year to mostly not do that, and I have to admit I still do it a bit.
Now most of my posts are earning 10x what they were earning a few months ago, but I have to admit if I did a post now that only earned $4 I'd probably think I was a worthless loser and start wondering how to buy upvotes.
Back in my days of posting on fakebook I used to assess the value of my posts by how many unfollows I got (I didn't get any likes)
