I never feel "lonely" on Hubski and I don't worry much about how many "shares" a post has. The only time it ever stings a bit is when it is original content that I've posted. For example, this amazing song I wrote about a scene from an obscure TV series that was abruptly cancelled.

I'm always quick to share something that a user has created themselves. I think the fact that people can post their own writing, songs, art, photography etc here and not get lambasted by negativity or people thinking its "spam" is one of the things that makes Hubski special.

Other than the occasional essay or song I write that gets 0 shares/comments, I never concern myself much with my own posts and how they're received. But as Lil suggested elsewhere, I do try to provide encouragement for others but never if I don't like what they've created.

I share things that I find interesting, it's that simple. I don't always agree with the premise of the things I share, but if I think someone else could benefit from consuming it, I'll share it.

Safe travels Lil! Bon Voyage!!
