This is a great post!
I think collaboration is key to anything that we do as individuals as we live in a collaboration society. As a new starter into this platform, I think it's the personal motivation that drives to continue to publish good and original contents. So where does the personal motivation come from? At the end of the day, that's the main question we need to ask ourselves while we are writing.
For me, it's just sharing a part of my travels with the rest of the community and hopefully someone will someday benefit from the information!
Cheers!
