I'm quite happy with how things are going on my end. I'm doing my own thing and feel I'm being compensated fairly. Sure, I'd like more. I do this for money. I'm not ashamed to tell people I write crazy shit and produce strange art for money. Who else would pay me?
I don't think it's a cult, but I do see how some members form cliques and all act the same way. I leave them be, that's life. I don't mind when bots upvote my stuff. I get paid, they get paid, everyone is happy. I didn't come here to change the world. I know what I did wrong when something of mine only makes a few pennies. I also realize some day these shares might be worth a hell of a lot more. Ten today could be 100 tomorrow. I'm good.
I should also add. I've met a lot of fun people here so far. I'm shocked I've even made it this far and I appreciate everyone's efforts on helping me find what I'd consider success here. Nothing really brings me down about the place. If I fuck up, I try harder, make changes. I don't expect everyone to comment. I comment when I can, I usually receive words back. It's been nothing but social for me. I didn't know anyone when I started. I didn't even know how to format an article or include a picture. I'm quite happy with how far I've come and can't help but be thankful for the support I've received.
Sorry it took so long to reply. I'm shocked how many people showed up to comment. Changed my whole outlook! I hope the interactions just continue to be more and more! Thank you for sharing your experience!
You're welcome. I've noticed people here really do shine in times of need. Just as in life, don't let the lulls get to you. They will happen, it's normal. Just keep pushing along, do your thing.
