Man calm down.
This is the beauty of this place. Each user can say and do whatever he/she wants. If someone flagged you they have the right to do so for their own personal reasons.
I know you ain't posting just for the rewards, I've seen your name hundreds of times at my feed over these past 2 years.

So what, are you gonna let what people think affect you and quit? I don't think so.
Keep doing what you love doing man, just do not over react.
Think calm and then decide what you wanna do ;)

Peace

I ain't saying that rewards do not play a vital role in this ecosystem but I am sure that there is a solution to your problem and that is not quitting ;)

Love

I totally agree man.
I am doing my own art and that's skateboarding and I am also tired of posting my work for free in other platforms. First Steem and now Hive have given me hope that I can achieve my dream which is to be able to make a living out of skateboarding.

Just don't let it affect you so much man. Platforms like Hive need people like you ;)

Here's an upvote to boost your spirits.

Peace

Yes, and I stand by that evaluation, as is my privilege as a curator and stakeholder on this platform. Learn to deal with critical evaluation, this is what adults do.
