First of all INTRODUCTION.
I remain my humble self Adeleye Abdulqudus.
Today is another day to appreciate our existence on the earth’s surface. Life is cool 😎 when you find yourself doing what you love best and being surrounded by people of great personality and mindset.
I might have missed out on task one but the mistake mustn’t happen twice. This is why I am grateful to be among those who are opportune to perform task two and I gladly await many more interesting tasks to be done.
Sigo siendo mi humilde yo Adeleye Abdulqudus.
Hoy es un día más para apreciar nuestra existencia en la superficie terrestre. La vida mola 😎 cuando te encuentras haciendo lo que más te gusta y rodeado de gente de gran personalidad y mentalidad.
Es posible que me haya perdido la tarea uno, pero el error no debe ocurrir dos veces. Es por eso que estoy agradecido de estar entre aquellos que son oportunos para realizar la tarea dos y con gusto espero que se realicen muchas más tareas interesantes.
QUESTION 1 |

How has been your experience with Hive since you joined?
Yeah, all praises are to God who allowed me to be among the hive members because at times when I look at the population of hive members compared to the people around me I realize that not everyone could have the access to working online. I am not saying it’s by my power but just grace.
The hive itself has been so much fun for me, the only challenge I faced was starting all over again from scratch when I lost the keys to my old account. It was so painful and reduced my morale towards posting on the hive. I found it so hard to get up again. As we all know that hive is all about community and power.
If you lack in any of these two then you would surely see a hive like a prison yard. Every time I try making myself available it’s either my post never gets any attention or I don’t have enough resources to keep working as I wished to. But with time and lack of consistency I was still able to the jungle around till I met a friend of mine 
I count this to be the beginning, as I still look forward to becoming a great writer and a humble member who would sacrifice his time to make others learn more and achieve more because I won’t want to see others struggle just like I did.
QUESTION 2 |

What are your thoughts on Plagiarizing and vote begging?
Right from day one of my blogging I have always preferred working on my own words, just made some mistakes with copyrighted images and that was when I lacked the knowledge. But as soon as I grabbed it to be a wrong act in the life of a blogger I never did such. But fighting against plagiarism is something we did fight for back then on the platform called Uptrennd. Though we call them spammers and they illegally gather upvotes by copying other people's contents and posting them again, making spam comments, and also downvoting quality content that seems too long to their likeness. Their aggressiveness would make them counterattack with huge downvotes on our articles.
But I think there is a different case here, since the power is from the community and no individual upvotes then it could be easily curbed if the power upvotes are from the communities that made use of their power for good. So they can surely use their power to encourage the quality content creators and warn the plagiarism makers and vote beggars only if they are ready to change and if they insist on plagiarizing and begging for upvotes then I think they should be disciplined by the community again so they can learn their lessons.
QUESTION 3 |

What are your thoughts on post recycling?
I would term post recycling as the next colossal crime next to plagiarism. This act should not be tolerated at all. It is also an illegal way of earning, and most people in this category don't care for writing or blogging, but all they want is the financial aspect of blogging.
If these people are caught in the act though it might not be easier to get them. They should be warned never to do so and if they insist I think their punishment should be temporary banning from the platform.
QUESTION 4 |

How helpful has this post been to you in understanding Markdowns?
It’s been a privilege to be able to write about the post, I would say it’s gone a long way in improving my markdown tactics. Though I got some basic knowledge on markdowns, this has improved my experience. And I am so grateful for this opportunity. I would always continue to be ready and available to learn more as we ride on this journey.
