The problems with many user on hive is that they look for instant reward, rather than spending time and adding value to the ecosystems, they want the tides to move in their favour from the word go. When they sse it is not happening they feel rejected. Adding value and then expecting reward does make sense. There are users who are here for more than 6 or 7 years does getting better rewards because of the community set up and cresting their identiy and instant compairing with them without a thought is foolish things to do.
This happens a lot, doesn't it? And the timeline between enthusiastically giving it a go and giving up, seems to be very short. I wonder how many are able to be successful elsewhere.
patience does play a significant role...work in a hurry is for the devil. I assume if they look #hive as just another social media platform, like fb or instagram keeping the reward factor away, might help them to sustain and also getting the reward in some time.
