I have been using Hive Keychain on my mobile phone for quite some time, but honestly the experience has been frustrating. Many applications simply do not work as expected. Even after carefully inserting my posting and active keys, I still cannot log in to several apps. This creates confusion and makes the platform feel unreliable for everyday use for both old and new users.
Besides the technical issues, earning through blogging has become much more difficult today. Rewards feel smaller, engagement is harder to build, and motivation slowly drops. On top of that, several second-layer tokens have lost most of their value, which discourages creators who once depended on them for extra income and long-term participation. This shift has changed expectations across the entire ecosystem for many users.
I believe this situation can be especially challenging for new users. When basic tools fail and rewards feel uncertain, it is easy to lose interest quickly. First impressions matter a lot, and if onboarding feels complicated or disappointing, people may simply leave before understanding Hive’s deeper strengths and its long-term potential for community-driven growth and innovation within the decentralized social blockchain space today overall.
This is not meant as harsh criticism, but rather an honest concern from a regular user. Hive still has strong ideas and a passionate community behind it. Improving mobile usability, simplifying access, and restoring confidence in rewards could help retain users and attract newcomers who want a fair, functional, and welcoming platform that supports creativity, consistency, and meaningful long-term engagement for everyone involved globally.
