The feeling of writing just for a few coins.

There's no point in omitting the fact that the price of HIVE is a determining factor in the production of content that keeps this large, complex ecosystem afloat. We all know that the value of HIVE as a currency, in the view of some users, is worth much more than the ecosystem's own potential for action (which is sad within a very restricted context), but we cannot ignore that low rewards for what we do are also bad.
Although this is a very broad point of discussion, I want to focus in this text on the fact that posts with very low rewards (and here I'm referring to really good posts that add quality content... even though this is something totally personal in a broader and debatable sphere) give us the feeling of writing just for a few coins, as if the effort is not being properly recognized within the platform. Undoubtedly, this ends up undermining the interest of many users who see this project as a possible waste of time.
To what extent would this be true? I think no one has a definitive answer about this, but at least for me, all recognition is not limited to just the financial aspect (which yes, matters a lot to me... but never defines the most essential equation as a whole), because in my case, I love to write, and the fact that I usually publish two posts a day may be a problem in this financial recognition from the large, frequent upvotes.
The fact is that, after so much time writing and publishing my content here, I'm no longer so bothered by my posts that receive lower reward values. I'm working within a sphere that has a much more significant dimension for me (and here I'm also referring to the financial aspect, but with a more expansive perspective), and once again I affirm that the fact that I love writing helps me in this "evolutionary process".
Like many of you, I've experienced the feeling of "undervaluing" the more robust financial rewards (and this fueled the idea that I was only writing for a few coins), but after so many reformulations within what I consider most important, and the ecosystem as a whole (functioning, growth strategies, networking), I continue to do only what I like, when I want, and the way I want. There is nothing more liberating than acting like this, doing my best... Without feeling pressured.
No tiene sentido ignorar que el precio de HIVE es un factor determinante en la producción de contenido que mantiene a flote este vasto y complejo ecosistema. Todos sabemos que el valor de HIVE como moneda, según algunos usuarios, supera con creces el potencial de acción del ecosistema (lo cual es lamentable en un contexto tan limitado), pero no podemos ignorar que las bajas recompensas por lo que hacemos también son perjudiciales.
Aunque este es un punto de discusión muy amplio, quiero centrarme en este texto en que las publicaciones con recompensas muy bajas (me refiero a publicaciones realmente buenas que aportan contenido de calidad, aunque esto es algo totalmente personal en un ámbito más amplio y debatible) nos dan la sensación de escribir solo por unas pocas monedas, como si el esfuerzo no se reconociera adecuadamente dentro de la plataforma. Sin duda, esto acaba minando el interés de muchos usuarios que ven este proyecto como una posible pérdida de tiempo.
¿Hasta qué punto sería esto cierto? Creo que nadie tiene una respuesta definitiva al respecto, pero al menos para mí, todo reconocimiento no se limita solo al aspecto económico (que sí, me importa mucho, pero nunca define la ecuación más esencial en su conjunto), porque en mi caso, me encanta escribir, y el hecho de que suela publicar dos publicaciones al día puede ser un problema en este reconocimiento económico derivado de los numerosos y frecuentes upvotes.
Lo cierto es que, después de tanto tiempo escribiendo y publicando mi contenido aquí, ya no me molestan tanto las publicaciones que reciben recompensas más bajas. Trabajo en un ámbito mucho más significativo para mí (y aquí también me refiero al aspecto financiero, pero con una perspectiva más amplia), y una vez más afirmo que el hecho de que me guste escribir me ayuda en este "proceso evolutivo".
Como muchos de ustedes, he experimentado la sensación de "infravalorar" las recompensas financieras más sustanciales (y esto alimentó la idea de que solo escribía por unas pocas monedas), pero después de tantas reformulaciones en lo que considero más importante y en el ecosistema en su conjunto (funcionamiento, estrategias de crecimiento, networking), sigo haciendo solo lo que me gusta, cuando quiero y como quiero. No hay nada más liberador que actuar así, dar lo mejor de mí... Sin sentirme presionado.
Não adianta omitir o fato de que o preço da HIVE é um fator determinante na produção de conteúdos que mantém a grande desse ecossistema complexo de pé. Todos nós sabemos que o valor da HIVE enquanto moeda, na visão de uma parte dos usuários vale muito mais do que o próprio potencial de ação do ecossistema em si (o que é algo triste dentro de um contexto bem restrito), mas não podemos ignorar que recompensas baixas pelo que fazemos também são ruins.
Embora esse seja um ponto de discussão muito amplo, eu quero colocar em foco nesse texto o fato de que posts com recompensas muito baixas (e aqui eu me refiro aos posts realmente bons, que agregam conteúdo de qualidade... ainda que isso seja algo totalmente pessoal numa esfera mais ampla e discutível) nos trazem a sensação de estar escrevendo apenas por algumas moedas, como se o esforço não estivesse sendo devidamente reconhecido dentro da plataforma. Sem dúvidas, isso acaba minando o interesse de muitos usuários que veem nesse projeto uma possível perda de tempo.
Até onde isso seria verdade? Acho que ninguém tem uma resposta definitiva sobre isso, mas ao menos para mim, todo reconhecimento não fica limitado apenas a questão financeira (que sim, importa muito para mim... mas nunca define a equação mais essencial como um todo), porque no meu caso, eu adoro escrever, e o fato de eu geralmente publicar dois posts por dia talvez seja um problema nesse reconhecimento financeiro por parte dos grandes upvotes frequentes.
O fato é que eu, após tanto tempo escrevendo e publicando o meu conteúdo por aqui, já não me incomodo tanto com os meus posts que recebem valores de recompensas mais baixos. Eu estou trabalhando dentro de uma esfera que tem uma dimensão muito mais significativa para mim (e aqui eu me refiro também a parte financeira, mas com um tipo de olhar mais expansivo), e uma vez mais eu afirmo que o fato de eu adorar escrever me ajuda nesse “processo evolutivo”.
Assim como muitos vocês eu já experimentei o sentimento de “desmerecimento” quanto as recompensas financeiras mais robustas (e isso era algo que alimentava a ideia de eu estar escrevendo apenas por algumas moedas), mas depois de tantas reformulações dentro do que eu mesmo considero como mais importante, e do ecossistema como um todo (funcionamento, estratégias de crescimento, networking), sigo apenas fazendo o que eu gosto, quando eu quero e do jeito que eu quero. Não há nada mais libertador do que agir assim, fazendo o meu melhor... Sem me sentir pressionado.

Writing therapy for you. It's also nice to read perspectives from others who understand the platform well, as someone who is pretty inexperienced.
Yea, my posts were not even got 0.005 hahah. No problem tho. I know my post is not for everyone.
And rewards here not always equal to efforts. As long as we know we contribute a thing or two for the hive community, i think thats enough for me.
I completely agree with that feeling you're talking about. Especially now, when I feel like I'm at my worst on Hive (in terms of vote rewards), but that feeling is - as you also say - very self-suggestive. After all, it is you who gives value to what you create and share on this platform. If what I've received in my last posts is considered insufficient, that's just my personal opinion in the end.
However, we must also not forget that there are creators and users (whom I have personally met and dealt with) who are much worse off than me in terms of rewards. Of course, we must consider that not all users are the same; each person has their own problems, situations, shortcomings, and virtues. But this way of thinking takes away my view that "I deserve more than a couple of cents" on my posts. By getting rid of that way of thinking, I can focus more on what I can improve, change, and work on to make my content evolve to the point that everyone likes it.
If you look at my posts from a year ago and compare them with the ones I've uploaded recently, you can see a huge difference just by swiping your finger. By focusing on improving my content and offering something better, I don't just demand or expect better rewards, but rather create something unique and my own on Hive. A community, an audience, a place where I can trust and talk about what I like without problems. It's all about broadening your perspective a bit, really.
Excellent post.
While I do appreciate the upvotes, I gave up the fight to score the big ones. I do love to write and to interact and there is no better place to do this then on Hive. While I have been blessed with some great support in the last few posts, I also had post not crossing the dollar mark this month.
There is still a difference getting 0.8$ for a post, or 0.05$. I do have a friend here, which normally have posts around the 20$ and one post only had 8 or so, for him that was a bad post, for me that would have been a top 3 post.
