Thanks for reminding us that HIVE (and crypto) isn't only about upvoting and downvoting, but much more important as of self-custody and owning your data... From your personal example, and Jon's example, it is obvious how centralized systems can screw up your work with just one click of a button...

Having your data OWNED has risks (keys and self-custody), but on the other side, it prevents things from happening which can be done by someone else (middle man, or the "real owner" of OUR data (YT, FB, IG, etc.))

Learning about keys and how to store them is worth the hassle!!
