Mine and his.
Two very different things, but teamwork in a community also cannot be ignored, they are willing to spend their time and thoughts even though the benefits return to their personal.
If the community can be taken over as you said, then they did build it for personal gain. However, what about the team? I believe that sharing can lighten a job. I believe in teamwork, but it is very unfortunate if a job is ultimately only exploited because of someone's fear of getting results and that is natural.
There is nothing wrong with compensation, but it is not right if compensation is given every time (minutes and seconds) of the work. But as you said, it all depends on the conditions and situations.
I have also given a community if someone can manage it well and make it grow into an independent community. If there are people who work hard and sincerely at something, then what other value can we give other than the word "great". Someone like that will not be abandoned, especially if she is our own grandmother. For me, the Community cannot be traded, this is an idea, creation, innovation and self-integrity in building the steem ecosystem. Even though it is small, a community deserves to be appreciated. Like those who always write the same segments. They are just trying to perform, they just need a little push and support from us. How we see things is very important. It is about trust, we should not betray our own team even if we have the opportunity to do so.
