Lol I ask myself this all the time!
Just hit 3200 this week, and I get maybe 1-2 posts a month not from me. I get so excited when someone else does one!
I only started posting daily because I really love what I share, so I'd be sourcing all the stuff just for me. If you're doing this as a job, you're going to burn out. I try to post 3 or 4 things a day and have a week or 2 of posts built up in a drafts folder for slow news days or days where I feel like crap and I can keep it going. That's a labor of love though. If it's something I wasn't all in on, it would suck to do all that work for free.
Check out the [email protected] community if you want to discuss the growing pains here. It's mainly us crazy dedicated few talking about growing our communities.
You guys are fighting the good fight!
It's funny, as I typically do not like attention, especially from strangers.
I do like researching and teaching people things though, so it is really fun to hear people say "wow, I never knew this was that interesting" or when they ask me questions I don't know the answers to and I end up reading about something I never thought to look into. I got asked some especially good questions this week, and it was a lot of fun coming up with good answers to share, so we all got a little smarter together. Fun stuff!
