it is all about perception. Some people over value how much they "must" get vs how much people truly believe their value.
Value in the sense that it is valuable enough for them to donate.
Some people hate the idea of self promotion, some embrace it.
Most often than not, the former believes that bcoz they do x,y,z it will warranty donation/sats.
The latter would hone their craft, test their craft via audience engagement (zap,like,repost, comment). This is what creators would call as testing your target audience.
But simply expecting it is not testing your target audience. It's alienating your audience.
Build trust, connection and give value without expecting anything in return.
You will be surprised how much people will appreciate you in exchange.
Expectation can be the root of pain and sufferings. ☺️🫂
