When I saw your title, I thought I would drop a comment on how I hate politics and that I don't like people asking for "favor" upvotes and such.
But what you described is more like building a friendship, or a network of similar-minded people, which is a completely different story... The only story that MAKES SENSE on HIVE, and out of HIVE... The good way to build your account and a happy life... All the rest is politics, chasing big upvotes, wasting time on trying to get attention from those that don't care about your content...
I agree with you that making connections and growing together is the best way to do it! 💪
Oh I have had people asking for votes and all that, but I decided to use the title I used because, well the human interactions and connections can pass off as political lol 😆😆
Yeah, what I described is more like building a connection of like-minded people. People you can grow together with and accomplish things with. Most of the people I started out with are either gone or didn't really want anything long-term with Hive, so.
For me, I wanted something different. There's a guy however who is so intentional about building, and I'm happy he says he's the main motivation why he has chosen to build on Hive as a retirement prospect. I'm passionate about supporting and seeking for support from people as this, and I think that's all that matters to me.
Thanks for coming through lol, and sorry for the confusing title
The same happened with me... Almost all people that I met in the first year or two on HIVE aren't here anymore, or I have no contact with them... I suppose it's always like that, those who came first were just for "testing the water"... But, the rest that came are still here and building hard!
Happy to support them and to see them growing! Focusing on people who are worth our time is much more effective than running around and trying to be "loved by everyone"... 😉
