None of my posts have really amounted to too much as of yet, but I'm encouraged by that feedback in the knowledge that there's nobody flagging me, and nobody inhibiting my exposure via some algorithm that prefers particular types of content. Now I can be sure that the crickets I'm hearing are specifically because my content needs work :), and I know that if I simply keep working at it and improve my work, people will start to follow it and consider it valuable by voting it up.Awesome post @sterlinluxan. I've only been on the site for a few days, but I'm already noticing the effects you mention about neuroplasticity and motivation. I attempted to create a blog several years ago, and because of the controversial and perceived political nature of my content, I was unable to monetize any of it, and so I became quickly discouraged, as I also experienced censorship when trying to share on social media. I've found new vigor since I discovered this platform, and I've had no shortage of ideas. I wake up in the middle of the night these days thinking of what to post up next, and when I am sleeping, I sleep much more deeply than I have up until recently. I attribute this to the mental energy I've been expending, and the synaptic connections I'm likely forming.
