I think it's not necessarily about recognition. I see Likes and Good Comments on an article as the primary way an author can understand that people appreciate their work. This encourages them to post more beneficial articles for the community. And writing technical article is not an easy task. It takes hours of reading docs, writing and editing.
Thank you for your perspective. I understand where you're coming from, and it's true that receiving positive feedback can be very encouraging for authors. However, I don't think that recognition and appreciation are necessarily the same thing. Recognition can come in many forms, such as through likes and good comments, but it can also come through other means, such as through citation of an article in other work, or through the impact that an article has on its readers.
Furthermore, while it's true that writing a technical article can be a challenging task, I don't think that this should be the primary motivation for doing so. I believe that the primary motivation for writing an article should be to share knowledge and insights with others, and to contribute to the community in a meaningful way. If we only write articles for the sake of receiving recognition or appreciation, we may lose sight of the bigger picture and the true purpose of writing.
That being said, it's always nice to receive positive feedback and recognition for our work, and I think it's important to find a balance between seeking recognition and staying true to our motivations for writing.
Exactly! I believe, we're on the same page. I should have been more clear in my comments. I never meant that we write articles only for the sake of recognition/appreciation, rather it's for the benefit of the community. I was just trying say that providing positive feedback is highly encouraging for an author and we really appreciate it. The only reason I wrote the first comment is because, I saw 22~25 bookmarks and only 8~9 likes. If you think that an article is important enough to be bookmarked then why not also click the like button? Furthermore, likes also helps a post to get more views.
