I'm a combination of routine and utility. It still helps me a ton to have a blog as a tool to stay disciplined and as sharp as possible with my betting activity. That alone gives me a ton of value.
The reality of Hive is that most start out to earn and the ones that stay do it for the community or the routine. Too few start a blog here because they actually want to, which is one of the major weaknesses of Hive I would say. I don't see anyone starting on Medium, blogspot, ... without genuinely wanting to have a blog.
RE: My Hive community is gone... So what am I still doing here?
