I didn't understand Hive's voting initially, but I mostly get it now.

I've seen similar occurrences on previous social media I used. Personally, trading votes undermines quality "Content." Why put effort into great content when you can just trade votes?

I also explore different communities here. I became interested in the video community 3Speak. Many videos there aren't good; they appear basic and poorly made. It's strange that these videos get bigger rewards, even though I doubt many people watch them.

Still, the written articles here are truly excellent. You can learn a lot from the text-based content, especially in this post.

This is my first week on Hive, I hope the community values content quality over quick rewards.
