2 people who I think contribute to hive

@darkflame is someone who I know is always trying to contribute to hive any chance he gets.

Also @thelogicaldude has done alot for hive too with the hive commerce community.

Just 2 peeps off the top me head.

Everyone who contributes should gain. The money is decentralized and distributed according to users contribution. Maybe some people will gain more as they invested more money by buying lots of hive.

The concept of "rich" in itself can be interpreted in a variety of ways I think. To many, being rich, will not imediately mean posessing monetary wealth. Many will see richness as happiness. You could have a rich family life, or a rich work life, or another variety there of. I guess in its most common form, to be rich means to have a lot of money. But money does not necessarily equal happiness. In my travels, I have seen a lot of people, "poor" people who were rich in happiness. Would they be happier if they were financially rich? Perhaps, or peraps financial richness brings in a lot of burden of the kind that makes the happy, unhappy. Look at the time you invest into being rich and see if you wouldn't be happier by investing that time into doing things that make you trully happy, like spending time with your family or just following your hobbies. That's why all those promotional, educational speakers, always talk about people needing to pursue things that they love doing and that riches will follow. Be happy first and see if you can monetise on your happiness. But do not try to acquire financial richness at the cost of your happiness, as that will inevitably lead to opposite results.

Im not trying to be selfish here but sincerely i desreve to be rich. I put in more than 12 hours of every day in ecency, and i try my possible best to make good content and post here, you can check my blog/post @blackman15 for verification. I deserve to be rich cause i pit in much work and find the time to appreciate and correct other peoples work through comments.

Who deserves to be Rich?

I don't know about others, but

I deserves it.

@Yanirauseche porque hace contenido de valor, aunque últimamente no sube mucho contenido.

@dandays @edprivat @iaura - The first 2 work like a mother to get good content up, and @iaura well she sleeps in my bed so... Self explanatory. I like my testicles where they are thank you very much.

Man it's funny because I was asking myself the same question, and I think it's all of the above. Some people are just great with other people, and they contribute to the HIVE ecosystem by just being themselves, and don't need any particular set of skills, though someone might argue that being good with people is a skill of its own.

Being caring and supporting for other people's content, is also a job, and one works only with the other, by this I mean that one feeds the other, and vice-versa.

Me, if I post a song, and nobody is watching it or listening to it, well it makes the task completely pointless, at the same time you do need to interact with others, and cannot expect to get people interested in your craft if you aren't interested yourselves in their stories.

I think that's where HIVE blurs the line between content creators and users, it's very rare to see a content creator on Youtube answering to comments, whereas here if you don't answer your comments on your post, it's frowned upon.
That also explains why many "successful" content creators came here, and were expecting instant success, but did not provide any effort to ENGAGE, (the sacred word hahaha) only to find mild interest in their work, because the human aspect is very strong on HIVE, we are all part of small group of tribes, bartering skills.
