Here is my 30 cents worth (maybe even literally depending on how much voting power I have left when I upvote & reesteem you in a moment). It can be disheartening spending time writing a long comment or post and receiving no upvotes but take a look at the number of views your post or comment has and you often feel better. Don't give up, keep making the effort and you will be rewarded. It just takes time like & effort like everything else worthwhile in life.
