One of the things I love about Hive is the fact that there are real people here. I love the same thing about Reddit, but the anonymity makes people less real in a way, and some subreddits are also unfortunately hijacked bybots. For the most part though, the people you meet here express opinions in ways you either won't find on other platforms because algorithms don't like it, or just because of herd behavior.

So yeah, I think you're an influencer. You didn't necessarily influence me, but you're part of a number of creators who inspired me to switch to taking and using my own original photos for my posts. There's a lot of subtle influencing of that sort going on here all the time.
