My pleasure! I appreciate that. Hive has become such a big part of my life in the last, soon-to-be, nine years. My days of being a regularly trending author on here seem to be behind me now but Hive still really means a lot to me. I've seen it at its worst and at its best—how it can change lives for the better. A lot of us who've been around for a while can see Hive's untapped/underutilized potential and that can be frustrating sometimes. For all of the benefits that decentralization affords sometimes lack of an agreement of a cohesive vision of the future is its Achilles heel.

As a reader I share all four of those metrics with you. There are certain authors on Hive that I really enjoy reading and try to support as much as I can (@zirochka, @honeydue, @meesterboom, @bozz, @nancybriti1, @dbooster, and many more).
