Although I'm relatively new to this platform, I have felt the feeling of being underappreciated. The feeling after writing a 500-word article and not even breaking the one-dollar mark is heart-breaking. But I have come to realize that I just have to stay consistent, keep on engaging and writing. Looking back when I was blogging on Medium, I used to write 1000-word articles, and only got applause, now, I earn money from it. Great to see that you're not giving up, keep up the good work!
