Back in the day HSBI was "STEEM BASIC INCOME" or SBI. When the project continued under HIVE, it became HSBI with the less communistic name. :-)
Love comment rewarder, I've seen so much more engagement and comments since sharing 10% of my author rewards. It's good giving back! !BBH
We found that was branding that cuts both ways. On Hive, it's 'Hive Stake Based Income' which is more explicitly how things always worked. But we still use all the same accounts.
Thanks for chiming in! I've had SBI and HSBI from the very beginning. It seems more popular now then ever before, so the branding seems to be working. !BBH
I believe there was a group that dismissed it without learning about it because of the branding. After the change, some of them looked into how it actually worked (whereas the early adopters that came because of the branding either continued using it or drifted away from Hive entirely).
One of these days I need to come up with a cohort analysis approach to compare retention for accounts using Hive SBI versus accounts with similar characteristics that are not using it. About 25% of HSBI members are active on Hive, which I think is good, but it's kind of meaningless without valid comparable data.
Glad to see such a large percentage of HSBI members still active! !BBH
