It Looks Like I'm Just Gonna Depend on Curation Rewards Now

Hive Community has a way of making authors doubt themselves so much. Do you guys know why authors like @snowmachine don't wanna come back here? And by the way she's a legit author with real life published books. She is one of my favorite bloggers back in Steemit days and I searched her on Twitter just to tell her to come back. She said that Hive/Steem value's down so she lost interest in posting. But I think that's not the real reason. Anyway, I just told her that she has some Hive Power sitting here but now I really doubt if she will ever come back to this community. And you probably know why (just look at how you guys valued her creativity such a shame) so don't even deny what's STILL happening around here.

One can't help but feel shit really. I begin to question myself too. I do upvote others so I know what's what around here. To be honest, my Steemit days were way better because even though there were the usual circle of jerks around, I still have nice supporters like @curie, @liberosis, @xaero1 (very nice and generous guy) @bloom (we had some conflicts but I'll still credit him here), etc. And they were all that mattered to me back then. Gawd knows what happened to some of them now. Thankfully @eturnerx is still here and genuinely put up with what I posts.

Oh I'm sorry if this is not a "Make Hive Great Again" post but just sharing here my truth. Seriously this community has to learn how to value contributors especially those who have been around here for a while now. Over the years I've tried to stay quiet because I know rants like this are frowned upon here. But Gawd, I can't help it anymore. I curate too so I get to look at other posts and then ask myself what am I doing wrong here? And don't even tell me it's me. Or maybe it's me because my posts don't cater enough to regular people's tastes. Let's face the fact that this community is just like my corporate job. That if I ass kiss enough around here, I'd probably be more rewarded. And that most of those who are 'in charge' here don't really value people or appreciate their existence.

Anyway, writing is tiring and takes hours and some proof of brain. So thanks Hive for making me realize that's it's probably better for me to focus on being a curator instead. With this in mind, I'd be able to put up with my job longer just so I can power up and stack hive. I mean seriously I write shit so it'd be better for me to just aim for becoming a whale just so I can reward authors who are beginning to doubt themselves too. And are about to leave and never come back. Or I can just delegate my HP and let professional curators curate. Then I'll just earn away. Because I think that's what HIVE really wants anyway. I'm sure for "blogging as a hobby" there are other platforms for that where one doesn't get to feel like they are not enough.

Anyway, this is a prolonged shitpost so I'm just saying that those who are starting to feel like shit I mean don't waste your time writing. Don't put your worth on other people's upvotes. Just focus on money and earn passive income. Delegate your HP and just come back here to claim your daily earnings. Let's all just stay for the curation rewards.

On a positive note, I do love my followers and the regular upvotes and comments I get from them, you guys mean so much to me. I know you are the only ones left who appreciate what I post here so many thanks for the continuous support and appreciation.
