Hey, there's nothing that says you have to be social all the time! Good to see you around again.

I think there's a correlation between the steem price and the level of real interaction. I get frustrated for the opposite reasons, I feel like people see my photo and upvote it and scroll right on past the discussion I'm trying to start. I see some people who consistently have a good deal of interactions on their posts but there's not that many of those and most seem to have been around for quite some time. Perhaps we're rushing things and just need to be patient and build up followers, I don't know.

Rewards are great but the much of the draw of steemit for me is the variety of people/places/things you get to see and learn about on here. Keep posting, I love seeing stuff from your part of the planet!
