It's the inflation. I never invested in Steemit but by my account was worth about 800$ when I quit. When I came back my Hive is now worth about 50$...

I like Hive for the learning about crypto and meeting interesting people aspect, but as an Investment its a pump and dumper at best.

Btw Im predicting a massive pump for Steemit, Hive and/or Leo since blockchain+social media is a pretty powerful thing. Just make sure to jump the ship when we get to 10$ per Hive and 50$ per Leo
