Would You Rather Create or Consume Content?

I know we have had this conversation so many times on this platform, but just out of curiosity, what would you prefer to do the most on here?

Personally I love to create, and I am struggling quite a bit with consuming as there's only so much time I can allocate to being on here since picking up a new job. Working through being engaging on my posts with the feedback that I get, but consuming others content has been a struggle lately.

Balance probably doesn't come easy for most of us, but even as we strive to do better, it's important to be true to ourselves and our preferences, if content creation isn't working out for you and prefer consuming, what kind of content do you prefer to consume. And in case of content creation, what is your fave kind of content to create as a content creator?

Personally I prefer short, direct kind of content, which is mostly inspired by my day to day life. I love to pass on information, to show new places, the food I try out or make myself, new places I have visited, or just what my thoughts for the day are. I like light, fun yet thought provoking content. I am not a fan of long blog posts, if anything I try to avoid as much of it as I can, and incase I come across something rather interesting, I mostly skim through it to the end. It only makes sense to me to create short content, just as much as I love to consume short content.

So, I ask again, **Would you rather be a content creator or a content consumer? Share with me down below, I will highly appreciate. It's part of my data collection, to help me realize how and when to improve on what I do on this amazing blockchain.**

Creator, hands down. But here's the deal: as a prolific creator, I still need the fuel of inspiration, so I consume quite a bit of content as well.

I love it best if we could do both, but sometimes there's not enough time for both, we'll, at least for me.

Because of this unique time in history, I find that I can even things up a little... but, indeed, time is at a premium under normal circumstances...

Why not both?

And to be frank, I see myself more as a consumer than creator. I just blog stuff as a pastime.

@shaidon · Apr 12 '20

I obviousLy consume more than I produce because I don’t find it particularly easy to bring myself to create content. It’s a mind game really. I a, too much of a perfectionist and then the content doesn’t really do as well as I’d like. So, I have to learn to relax more and just enjoy the process.

@elsiekjay · Apr 13 '20

The trick is to enjoy the process for sure. I am trying to do so more often, you'll get there, don't be too hard on yourself.
