I am sure I am not the only one who spends too much time on social media and get nothing but likes and comments. For some reasons, other social media platforms like FB, IG and Twitter that do not offer monetization of users' posts are still dominating the network. I can think of one main reason:
Those other networks do not require good quality posts. People can post anything even without thinking and they still get a lot of likes and other reactions. On Hive, you don't get much, or any at all, if your post does not make sense.
This is actually one of the reasons why I've been absent from Hive for a while but I have been on FB during that time. Then I came "back to my senses" and back on Hive as I remember growing my Hive account again.
One of the regular activities I remember before I disappeared was power-up day every first day of the month. I wasn't a fan back then. I plan to do it this time. And for my first Hive Power-Up Day HPUD today since my comeback, I was able to acquire 31.418 HP from my earned Hive Dollars. That is an average of one Hive Power per day with just seven posts in a month and the curation rewards from my auto-votes. I believe that is good enough for the limited time I spent. Certainly, it will get better if I focus more.
Then I got this comment from 
The amount earned here may seem so small for someone with posting performance like me (My hands raised to those who get high value upvotes). However, that is already a great productivity if you are doing it on part-time basis as compared to nothing yet wasting a lot of time on social media. I can't help remembering a wise piece of advice which I don't remember where or from whom I heard it.
"One reason why the rich gets richer and the poor gets poorer is how they spend their time. The rich spends time having fun while earning. The poor just spends time having fun for nothing."
So which are you?
