Was it worth it
Sometimes I've been wondering, spending time making post here in #hive, was it worth it? Do I really want to do it? Or I do it just to claim a community vote?
You see, back in the days before 2017, I already know about existence of #steem. It's just that I can't be bothered until I see the bull run and started throwing money in to it, and the next best thing is to found out power down actually requires 13weeks and then came the crypto winter 🤣 can you imagine how embarrassing 13 weeks later you have a total 3000 tokens in hand, but it only worth less than a hundred dollar 🤣
I've dedicated the entire 2018 and 2019 for posting on a daily basis, so I can make back the money I've gotten stuck in the blockchain. The craziest time was making 5 posts in a day. I was caught "milking" the system, I just don't admit it as all those posts were targeted on different communities, and I call that creating content for the community 🤣
Can you imagine, I had to make a post about food I eat, make another post about crypto outlook of the day, make one more post and rant about work, one fight report from playing #drugwars, and last but not least, a workout report that takes the last vote from the sports community. If I don't get enough vote from any of the post, I'd buy vote just to pump it up so it looks impressive for others. Can you imagine the time I've spent on making all those posts and monitoring the bid not trying to score a bigger vote? Before started spamming posts like this, I used to spent at least 2 hours on cardio daily, after having these spam task, I literally had to do a 15 minutes workout, take multi angle photos, split it for few day use 😂
I'm not accusing anyone, merely sharing my personal experience. I know some of you are also milking, but who am I to judge. I'm just asking myself, was it worth it? To me, that point of time, I'm just doing everything I can, trying to squeeze that one last bit out of the system and totally forgot to "live". And now, I'm back to a more laid back routine, live, trying to lose all the weight I've gained for the past few years, and the amount of pictures I took everyday, actually having more than the capacity of I can post. If I can find that way to do it, why can't you?

謝謝檸檬。收到免費房，考慮想上去找你喝茶😘
做午班了，喝不了茶，你进skycasino也是看我做工罢了 😂
Thanks for sharing your experience so others would learn from that. I think it's important to look at Hive as a Social Media platform and share things that we really want to share and have some meaning for us or others. Trying to abuse the whole system or if you are writing posts only for the earning part is not something that you will enjoy and eventually, you are going to hate it. My motto is to do things that make you feel good! Works so far!
Keep up the great content! :)

謝謝瑪麗。沒錯，最重要心態好。
不知道值不值得，不过已经习惯了！🤣🤣🤣每天写点东西也许是种寄托！
我的習慣是，一天擼到晚，一天五貼🤣🤣🤣 所以我才會說，值得嗎？老司機開車說，做愛可以很爽，但是一天五次…不是醬爽了吧🤣
哈哈，一天能发五贴，那也是特别人才了啊！

From my opinion, it is not worth it. How much per hour can be made? But for hobby, it’s priceless.
That was a very honest post, laying bear your reasons for posting. You have an honesty in all your posts I read so that should not be a surprise. I admit I love seeing good engagement on my posts but I get a kick out of people enjoying my writing more than the monies I might earn from them. I can't deny that it's very nice to watch hive dollars build up tho.
Haaaaaa, and after all those posts the investment is not equal to the gain due to the time factor, the weight you gained was from spending so much time milking the system haaaaaa, well, don't do it again.
What I do: I claim and buy CARDANO and BTC, I am saving and increasing them, patience and we will see
I too have changed the way I "Hive" since the early days. I came into this thing from a website builder's perspective, where a focus on SEO was 80% of the effort to make sure a blog or post would land in the google search results. In the beginning I would spend a week getting the SEO just right, editing the images to perfection, then post only to make 3 to 4 cents, very frustrating that nobody noticed all these efforts. For whatever silly reason I stuck with it, and now I barely have enough time to post anything even though I am a full-time Hiver.
Now I am a realist, and if I'm still awake at 11pm and have 5 images from the day, maybe I can whip a post up before 2am and call it a night. I am usually successful 4-5 days a week, but would still love to post daily. I always dream I'll wake up and have coffee while making my morning post with a fresh brain, but something always happens to keep me busy and away from this task until the kids are in bed 🤔.
I admire you for your dedication to daily posting, I need to kick myself in the tuchus and do it.
Totally agree with you. I won't force myself to post on a daily basis no more. But then when I look back to my new year resolution, I did promised myself to post daily 🤣 so it's kinda sour grape at this moment for saying that because I didn't post again, yesterday 🤣
