But writing about something we like and focusing on the sharing and not on the earning does make the process easy, at least for me.
This is why the people who are aiming for upvotes from various topic groups rarely last, because they are writing for the "wrong reasons" from an interest perspective, so it comes across as inauthentic and, they also don't enjoy the process of it. It is like working at McDonald's - not fulfilling for most people.
