My favourite personal example is my payouts from before and after I started posting travel posts to pinmapple/haveyoubeenhere. The few posts before, I was lucky to get 2-3HIVE, half a comment and 20 upvotes.

Right now, maybe 10% of my travel posts score under 10HIVE, they get curated and some of them even get discussions under.

It really makes a difference.
