It's all welcome in my view. Lack of support doesn't indicate they're not welcome.
It's tough to get eyes on the work first here, then support naturally along with that. Myself, I'm only one consumer with a dollar vote. Doesn't go far. I've been talking about people reaching outside for support for several years. Attracting people actually interested in content rather than creating would help a lot. That's typically what's needed anywhere else and could help here. For now the actual consumer base is very small and spread thin. You're not wrong but in general there isn't enough interest. I think a well run art community reaching outside for support and bringing that in would help. Can't expect people that don't like art to support it, for example. People who do are welcome here, too.
Yeah, totally agree with that. I guess what I'm saying is people who have a bit of HP need to make more of an effort to do so. People tend to chuck their votes where they know they'll get good curation rewards, which you can't blame either, or to upvote their mates, which you also can't blame either (guilty). Even your 'measly' vote is quite a bit for some.
REaching for outside support is where it's at, as always.
Curation reward is mostly balanced out now. There's no added reward unless votes come after 24 hours. Votes before 24 hours at any point always give you the same reward, regardless if others vote after or not.
Voting for what you like consistently is normal. If you find a good artist you like, supporting them often is natural. Same with Youtubers for example. If you find an interesting channel, you'll watch often. Music, same thing. People buy everything their favorite act puts out. It's natural I guess. People wouldn't seek out videos on Youtube and watch them just because the views are low, so they could support them.
Surprisingly, I don't see many reach out. Voting is a good deal for the supporter, especially if the creator is going daily. A community of several creators means there's a lot for those paying types to support with votes, consistently. Not much different than buying subscription, except one still has their tokens and actually earns while being in support. Without doing something like that, everyone here is stuck with what's available.
