same with Blurt, I didn't go big, and I am probably less than 1k down on that right now so no panic.

I did snoop, you are not powering down like the others.

But I earned nothing on Hive for about a year before I quit and psychologically that is discouraging.

Take it for what it is, you are an artist? Use this for your art outlet and keep the other stuff on other platforms..

but I'm curious as to why all these blockchain platforms turn to shit?

Maybe blogging has had it's day. Splinterlands is keeping HIVE afloat.
