Hahahaha I love this post π
So................ funny story π
Back in the early-mid part of my Hive Journey, I was getting a very intermittent series of "Whale upvotes" due to "Contest Entries" and posting in Discord about it.
I was doing exactly what you were describing and the key frustration for me was "I am told on almost every post that "omg this is hilarious", "omg I love your writing style"... etc
But so much content went unnoticed. I couldn't figure it out. I couldn't figure out why some content generated very little attention and upvotes and some generated a lot...
My frustration grew as I read more and more sub-par work that seemed to garner these big upvotes and there really wasn't a clear "method" of getting their attention.
Eventually... I wrote that exact post you described. At(all those people).
That did not go well π
However, the silver lining was, in addition to the backlash and downvotes - I received a ton of constructive criticism.
I received a ton of useful advice. Help. Instructions. Suggestions.
This post is solid gold Alex, I hope it helps the people it reaches because the advice contained in these words most certainly helped me!
lol well, learning the hard way is also a way of learning π. Yeah, I wonder about this and I wanted to write about it. In a way I think it's a bit of the community's fault by promoting the Come, blog and earn crypto for free!
As I've said in other posts: TANSTAAFL (There ain't no such thing as a free lunch)
We've got to provide value to the other person and then we might get value in return.
We've got to learn how to read people and see if we can figure out what's valuable to them.
@star-shroud - this is a fantastic post that may help offer you some guidance on your journey too π
P.S. - Don't tag the Whales, that generally doesn't work out for you ππ€£π
πππ Good advice!
