Sometimes it feels so bad not earning rewards for putting in hard work on a post, it feels so discouraging. But, I feel everything is with time, and people who truly value your content will always support you.

Hive is a great place, it doesn't matter whether you get support now or not, just keep doing what you are doing and have fun, in time rewards will come.

But for downvoting; well, I really don't know why someone would do that. I think if you don't like a post, you probably do scroll past the post, to find what would be interesting to you. I don't think it's necessary to downvote.
