You kind of ponder, "What is Hive? " To me, it's number 1 use is s a blogging tool. Here is a place to write something and it's there immutably into the future. That can't be said about a blogging website. Plus you might earn a couple of rewards.

This is how I used Hive for the first 2 or 3 years, as a one way thing. And that's fine. But as you say, it wasn't until I started interacting that my follower account started to grow. That's the key to follower size and getting rewards.

As far as content rewards, it's got to be a good thing. Incentives yield results. Now I just need to remember to do it when I write.
