Personally, I'm saddened when the number of views on a post doesn't correspond to the number of votes. While it's true that there's a great incentive to receive appreciation for the content, it's also gratifying to find that people read and share it as well. A kind comment, criticism, or advice always encourages exchange and the long-term development of communities and of each one in particular. I believe it's vital that comments be substantive and informative. Thank you for bringing up this necessary topic.
I do like to receive upvotes, but the main purpose of my posts is to add value to the reader (or at least, I'm trying to do that)... If they find it useful, they will reward it with an upvote; if not, well, I deserve that too 😃
Comparing myself with some other authors and their rewards has no sense... We are all different and create different content, engage with different people, etc.
Exactly, my friend. The main purpose should be to create connections from the content that we are able to communicate, impact others, touch souls. If we are rewarded for it, that's great, but there is already a reward in a fee of gratitude for what we do, and that enriches the spirit and feeds us.
