Maybe it is time to just take a step back and relax, sometimes when we keep looking at how much our post can earn, we focus on the wrong things of life. I have not read your posts just yet but I am pretty sure if you put your heart into sharing, it will come to light and you will get tons of good reports.
And as for the person. I realised that there is this group of people who are very desperate and looking at this entire networking and earning the wrong way. They think by doing so it automatically gets votes = money. But Steemit is more than that. We cannot take this as a formula for human interactions, there will never be a static formula because we are all very versatile. We are not bots, and at the end of the day, those who truly stays here and be at the top is each author's true unique personality.
Very true...Before i used to focus on my payout..but now i just stopped focusing on the payout and have just been posting for fun...and i have been getting good results ;)
That's the way it goes @alex-icey ! Unfortunately many people still do not have that idea.
upvoted your original post. I understand how it is when you try to help your family through this platform. I too am trying and hoping that this will help my parents too. :)
