Do you know what the average post payouts are, and what is considered "making it" on Hive?
Because even if you make $50.00 a post and post everyday, minus curation is less than $200.00 dollars per week, and if you cashed that out to survive on, you certainly will not continue making that much because we know how the voters want those votes back sometimes, and we know constant cash out is not the popular thing to do around here, regardless if someone really needs the resources to survive.

I came along Dec 2017 homeless on a laptop as well :D At the very start I wasn't but it was a drug house infested with mice and people doing hard drugs, nodding out in piles of garbage.. real bad, then willingly left to go to a homeless shelter cause I had to get the fuck out of there.

I should never have touched this place with a ten foot pole. It's one of my only regrets in life. If I could do it all again, I would never ever sign up for this blockchain. No offense to anyone here, but it has been one of the worst decisions I ever made.

Why do you stick around if you regret it so much?

I would guess for the meaningful connections and things which no monetary value can be set for? :)

I hope you stay with it and also hope that it becomes a more positive and fulfilling experience for you bro.
