Positive interactions and connections among Steemians are key to fostering a vibrant and engaging community on the platform. It's great to hear that you have built strong connections with Venezuelans and that you all support and motivate each other. The Steemit engagement challenge has definitely played a significant role in increasing interaction and making the platform more lively. While competition can be tough and the lack of upvotes and support can be discouraging, let's continue to support one another and keep pushing forward. Best of luck to you as well, and have a wonderful day.
