I have seen many people say that over-posting is a reason they will downvote and to stick to one blog post per day unless you have an EXCELLENT reason to post more.

This is why Instagram or Twitter style use of Hive will never take off - those micro-blogging style platforms encourage lots of bite-sized pieces of content rather than one long-form article.

It's kind of a clash of cultures, but the Whales get the lion's share of the vote and so they can dictate what happens.

As you state, the way around that is to be super-active in the comments! Not only is that a way to not have to wait until tomorrow to contribute, but it also makes you build relationships, and will reward you with future votes too.

We are very much in the early days - I think someone said there were only 16,000 active users of this platform? If so, that would make the entire active community of Hive smaller than many smaller traditional forums. If we all make this a great place to visit then we can all grow with it. A rising tide etc!
