Yup, what's that saying...about pleasing some people X percent of the time lol. I think posting when you want and can is the best way. Well in your case - you always have something worthwhile or entertaining to say! Like you said earlier, as long as the motivation isn't just rewards (though they can be a welcome byproduct !)
Even though I'm a bitty baby minnow - I do the same - resteeming especially if there are no comments and I see some new person put a ton of effort into a post and there's no likes because no one knows who they are.
But we have like .009 seconds to grab people's attention - seeing a feed full of resteems is definitely a turn off and I'm aware of that now. Even just in my general feed - someone I followed started resteeming a bunch of God and Bible stuff. I followed that person because I like their content (which wasn't religious) - but all the JC resteems gave me flashbacks to my FB days when my dad's friends/hometown people spammed walls with a shit ton of religious dribble - a lot of it not just sharing 'god's word' - but putting down other religions in the process (Islam cough). Maybe that's narrow of me, but hey, it's my prerogative and my feed lol. (again, nothing against Christians, I was raised one, I think JC and the bible have some great stuff to say - but no I'll not repent now or go to a hell I don't believe in :-P )
