There are so many reasons people can't always post on Hive, or maybe NEED to power down to pay staff or meet covid-created business deficits (like me right now) and I think it matters not at all. That Hive is creating VALUE for the community is fabulous. That we have lives and connections outside of our blockchain circles is wonderful. That we can USE Hive to create real life business gains is surely one of the ultimate goals - to have Hive become a real means of exchange as an alternative currency.
I've stopped losing sleep over rankings and HPUD - if anything, the need to power down for 6 weeks to stay afloat motivates me to CREATE MORE HIVE by getting busier posting. And that's a win, however big my stake may be at this moment.
Where Hive can genuinely help those in need, especially those who are on Hive to create value and not here to milk the system, that is great. Sadly, there are too many of the latter around 😌
Hope all is well as can be in Thailand for you.
