I, too, have observed this demotivation in recent months. I believe that beyond the changes in Steem, there is also the idea that some people have of achieving success in the shortest possible time and without any effort. The advice you bring today is very pertinent, especially if we are disoriented and starting on this platform. Steem's slogan of making money by publishing what you write should go with another phrase that says it takes time and effort to make the money you want. It's always good to read you, @chbartist.
For me is always good to read your sweet and kind words and see you always here. Regards @nancybriti
