It seems like a lot of people don't post or at least don't post on smaller communities like obsidianmd@lemmy.world

If you get a million views in YouTube, can you gain a small income through that?
Can you partner up with other names/creators to raise awareness/visibility to your own name/work?
Sometimes you need to keep standing your ground. Explain how it is and if they don't believe you, ignore them.
Do you wish to get money? Is this a hobby?

I think it depends how a post you create is doing. What the community you choose is, what is its activity, what kind is your post, what materials you use (text, images etc)...
To my knowledge (of one month), it's easier to get any sort of engagement (being it likes or comments) from one cute or sad comic image than from sincere, deeper discussion of whatever topic.
We are fighting against people's time. How should they use it?
And then again - we use these services for different purposes. Some of us jump in for a quick lolz off pictures, while others delve for hours in all sorts of peculiar discussions.

(I'm not so much of a content creator - at least when it comes to something else than text. But I try to do my part in all sorts of communities that interest me to kick some engagement around this place 💓
I'd like to see this thing taking off and getting at least some of the activity what Reddit gets)
