Rewards are great and all but have you ever tried engaging with a community that knows how to carry on banter like they do on Reddit.
It strikes me as odd that even though my brain knows I may earn more to post on Hive that I'll opt to comment / joke / meme on other platforms i.e. Reddit, Minds.
Think once you peel back the technical aspects, you can see how important vibe and engagement are for maintaining interest in a platform.
Hive is awesome on the technical side but still needs work to possess the fun factor as Reddit as well as breadth of topic... Without their censorship.
I mean I have a lot of fun with comment threads, puns, quips etc on Reddit. While those things get highly appreciated over there, don't seem to get the same here from what I have observed...(especially when the convergent curve was in place. It was horrible.)
