Is the original content you write valued as it should be?

I was thinking about this in this new time of market devaluation / frustration that involves digital currencies and creating a connection with the lack of social interaction, which leads to the abandonment of users over time (and prevents - or at least blocks - arrival of the new)... Something that consistently feeds a vicious circle that should be avoided in the pursuit of growth / recognition.

When you get excited and strive to write a new publication (I mean something that is not simply throwaway) on any platform, it's only natural that you wait for some recognition from the people who are part of the system. Therefore, this becomes a form of investment apart from the world financially proper as it is widely known (only considering the issue of money itself).

That said, there are two ways of returning: the social part and the financial part. Unfortunately, both parties are highly undervalued here (especially for those users who write quality content) and the waterfall of despondency has come down ever stronger in all (without exception). The main difference is: What is your reason for staying here?

You don't have to look far to see great publications with a very low reward value and also lack of interaction in the comments. This is a highly discouraging combination for anyone who stays here without giving in to the hype of posting poor quality or empty posts (just to keep their accounts active and earn some additional coins).

While there are important curatorial projects in place (and as an example, I can cite some who have already helped me - and still help - a lot, like @ocd, @ptgram-power, @coiotes, @brazine, @cervantes, @curie, @blocktrades and @c-squared) and recently launching of various tribes with their respective tokens (here I can cite two that have been very useful to me and are represented by the tags #pal and #steemleo, this last one especially for investment posts) that help the users to obtain more recognition in these two sides.... The ecosystem is very big and a lot of people end up being left out.

This also precludes discouragement on the question of building a networking bridge (after all, users need to see and be seen to gain strength and value) that is of fundamental importance in this future valuation (something that transcends the virtual world, obviously). So, the idea that ends up being sedimentated to several people is the one that says: If no one helps me, why am I going to help?

So, with that I finish my reasoning (which is originally even more extensive, but I do not want to lengthen this post even more) saying that first I find the social part more important (and within this field are the knowledge acquired and passed on various subjects, not counting the possibility of learning new cultures and making new friendships)... Because money, is precisely the consequence of it (an extra reward we hope to win to continue here).
