I think when you do something you enjoy, you don't really look for much in return. The enjoyment itself is the reward.

If you do something to earn on Hive, that's a different thing. It can be disappointing when things don't go as you expect. But some people remain loyal to Hive, continuing to support the platform even when there's hardly anything in it for them, and we can see those people.

We can also see those who only come back because they're expecting something.

The thing is, when we see the community still thriving despite the current price, some people come here expecting rewards without contributing anything, just trying to get what they can. I find that quite selfish, especially when they do it simply because they can.

Meanwhile, I see people working their butts off for almost nothing, and it really breaks my heart.

You also see authors who could still contribute regularly, even if they had to slow down while Hive is low, but they don't. They stop completely and suddenly come back when things are looking better for them.

I don't know. Maybe some people are just loyal to Hive, while others aren't. Some are here to contribute and support the community, while others are just here to take and take without thinking about giving anything back.

I guess everyone has their own reasons, but it's sad to see people who are willing to give so much to the community even when there's very little in return, while others only show up when there's something to gain.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but that's just my observation. Enjoy the rest of your holiday, and don't let these things ruin your break. ☺️
