I'm struggling for months now on Steemit, thinking what exactly went wrong? I'm here for a year and half.
I have more than 1300 followers and reputation score 70. I put original content and really try here everyday,
but for months now nobody really cares, I don't get 10 upvotes anymore, not to talk about not earning anything, but nobody even opens my posts, and 80% of comments are ''nice, pls follow back''.
7 months ago, I was getting more than 100 upvotes, and actually good comments, but something changed.
What is it? My content stayed the same, but that was not good enough anymore? And I'm not posting just my photographs. I'm translating interesting art content, movie reviews, stories about shooting music videos...
I try to put quality content here really.
I'm thankful for this platform because it changed my life in so many ways. First I got money to pay my rent when I moved away from my parents house, and it meant a lot, because I'm a film director and a photographer, so I don't earn a lot of money.
Second, it moved me away from facebook, I don't scroll anymore and really don't hang around there.
I wake up, make my coffee and instantly when I turn on my computer I write a post.
And third, I'm learning a lot, because when I decide to write a post, I don't just do it to write anything, if I don't have any original content for the day, I search for interesting articles in my language and translate it so people here could read it.
But now I'm really struggling whether I should keep this pace of everyday posting, because it doesn't get any attention, and I'm not sure why. I don't want to suck up to whales and comment on things I don't sincerely like just to get an upvote.
All in all, I don't now what the fuck should I do?
I don't know if there is anyone here that is experiencing the same?
Love ya all, and happy Valentine's Day
