I read this with smiles and was going to upvote this post then comment so fast, only to realize it's beyond 7days but the insight, nuggets, and wisdom here is truly timeless.
As a fairly new content creator on Hive - 3months old 😃, I've struggled with paying more attention to either upvotes or comments but I finally made peace with making content I enjoy, with hopes that my kind of audience enjoys them too and engage. I currently engage with other people's posts across diverse communities but my only hope is to actually make true connections with people beyond the reward (which is also a plus but not the only focus).
Thank you for using this post as a reminder on what is truly important for us as content creators @tarazkp
