Good evening, @ph1102 . When I first started posting on Hive, I thought it was "just" a social network—albeit one with the advantage of being free from censorship. Over time, my perspective shifted, and I now see two ways of viewing Hive: either as a social network or as a workplace.

When viewed as a workplace, monetization undoubtedly distorts interactions between Hivers. Interactions—such as posts—end up being driven by economic considerations. For instance, posting music and movie reviews in a specific community is currently the trend.

For me personally, Hive offers things that go beyond monetization... and I’ll stay on the platform as long as that remains the case.

I’m not sure if this reflection is of much interest, but I wanted to share it anyway.

Sending you a big hug.
