It requires great will to continue what we are doing in hard times. For example a doctor who can do 4-5 operations a day cannot operate his relative. That is called as Fear Uncertainity Doubt (FUD). People use this word when bull market is in place. But real FUD lies in this market condition. It may be steemit or some other thing.

Secondly why do you worry about reward that you are getting from other users. For example a writer who writes hundred of books throughout his life will not even be printed in press, But his biography will count millions of dollars which was written after his life. Some things will take time to reflect. you should wait with patience.
