A word from someone who's been there: if you upload things in order to get kudos and thanks, you're going to be disappointed. Feeling unappreciated is natural, but instead of focusing on how many people are thanking you, focus on finding gratification in the fact that you are contributing to the fan community and making a lot of people happy. You're doing good; you're helping people. Know that and smile.
For me, one sincere, unforced thank you is worth 20 that were given out of a sense of obligation or quid-pro-quo.
Again, thanks for all you do.

Nancy, that's great advice. I have been there too and have often had to swallow my pride when efforts go unnoticed. You expect some acknowledgement, but it often doesn't materialize. I'd imagine this is why some fans who used to be so active in this chose to walk away. But ultimately it is about sharing the content so that we can all experience and discuss it. As you said, that should be enough.
