It saddens me to read this @jaki01 as it also keeps saddening me to see to many old users quietly slip away, often for similar reasons. I think you have always been a positive contributor here, particularly within the German community.

As a counterpoint, it has been interesting to watch the activity levels with the LeoFinance community, which removed the 5-minute "auction" for casting the perfect vote. Maybe Hive could learn something from that experiment.

I never felt that "automation" belongs in the same sentence as "social" but it seems a lot of people in the Hive ecosystem think of this not as a community and social content site, but more as a "cash dispenser." But I won't get into that because it's an old old debate, and it always falls on deaf ears.

Anyway, I wish you well!
