Hahahaha I love this post 😁
So................ funny story 😅
Back in the early-mid part of my Hive Journey, I was getting a very intermittent series of "Whale upvotes" due to "Contest Entries" and posting in Discord about it.
I was doing exactly what you were describing and the key frustration for me was "I am told on almost every post that "omg this is hilarious", "omg I love your writing style"... etc
But so much content went unnoticed. I couldn't figure it out. I couldn't figure out why some content generated very little attention and upvotes and some generated a lot...
My frustration grew as I read more and more sub-par work that seemed to garner these big upvotes and there really wasn't a clear "method" of getting their attention.
Eventually... I wrote that exact post you described. At(all those people).
That did not go well 😅
However, the silver lining was, in addition to the backlash and downvotes - I received a ton of constructive criticism.
I received a ton of useful advice. Help. Instructions. Suggestions.
This post is solid gold Alex, I hope it helps the people it reaches because the advice contained in these words most certainly helped me!
