Good Morning @tarazkp

I hope this finds you and your family in good health and good spirits. 

I just read your post with my morning tea. I use to game a lot also. It started as something I only did with my son for fun because he was into it. Then when I started working away from home I did it during my downtime. Many hours were thus consumed in hotels. But I just decided one day to use that time for part time work or reading and now I game very rarely. I write a good portion of that time now and read. I think I alternate between sometimes working a second job and earning and other times reading, writing and learning. 

I think the link or comparison you draw between Steemit and gaming is valid. I think Steemit supplies some of the same dopamine rewards as Facebook or gaming, but on a much much smaller scale as your labors here take much much longer to bear fruit. The rewards here are also much more sporadic. I think what I learned in college psychology class suggests that  ironically intermittent reward behavior is much stronger and addictive then consistent reward behaviors. 

Ironic isn’t it, that if you reward people consistently and then stop for a couple cycles they stop the behavior quickly. But if you reward them intermittently and randomly they persist in the reward seeking behavior much longer. 

Humans are an interesting species indeed. 

You have a good day, I know times are tough, but I keep counting my blessings first each day  now and it keeps me grateful and happy.
