Yeah statistical data would paint an interesting picture. The way I see it, the TRENDING PAGE shows the state of the platform. It's almost exclusively Spanish now.

Littered with the usual sensationalist/conspiracy posts like pressfortruth. Then there's the regurgitated garbage from taskmaster and edicted who for whatever reason keep posting rather than just stay obscured, plugged into those curation trails..

Which is what the rest that are still here wanting to "grow their investment" have accepted as what Hive provides. More actually: parasitically feeding from the aforementioned Spanish posters, which while it lasts.. Hive at least, can have a positive effect on their lives.

Occasionally though there's a good post worth the read from deepdives or an entertaining video from theouterlight.

Or some new popcorn drama between egotistical maniacs threatening to destroy one or more members.

Overall this is just not a chain exemplifying the tagline: JOIN THE REVOLUTION.

It is however interesting watching the different "classes" of users, loyalists, dev proposals, marketing attempts etc.. since that's the resilience of humans in general on display.

But as you said,
to the top 50 or so..
go the spoils.
