🙂 The real money value is a strange beast here. On one hand, it could corrupt one's authenticity, both in blogging and in social behavior online. But on the other hand, no chance that I will take the time & effort to create something relatively meaningful every day without the hope that, one day, blogging could pay me a trip to some tropical place, ad example. Where I could search for some weird insects that I have never seen before and blog about them from there. 😀I mean, no chance in 2019, at my beginning on the platform. Nowadays, I think I'll be doing it even for fun only, and to have a place where I can store and organize my thoughts & photographs while learning English along the way. But knowing that there is some money in the future, or in the present in the case of an emergency, is a great thing. And a bit of a miracle too. I couldn't imagine something like this before I stumbled upon it while rambling around the Internet. Never thought that online activities could bring me something valuable in a so direct way. I was mostly happy that platforms like Facebook don't make me pay to use them, back then, before 2019. Many people I know still have that mentality. The idea that what you create online can have some value was pretty revolutionary to me.
