If you take a look at the differences among social media platforms, you'll notice distinct behaviors on each of them. On X, everyone seems to be engaged in arguments. On Instagram, everything appears to be about sunshine and happiness without much depth or meaning. Here on Hive, I sense a drive to achieve something. I believe the unique incentives and restrictions on each platform contribute to these behaviors. Without the monetary incentive on Hive, it wouldn't be the way it is.
Yes, they are built for a "purpose" but it is actually a silo of sorts. It is productized usecase and it is all designed to generate profits for the platform, through generating profits through the corporate advertisements and data sales.
I agree. There is more depth here, because people are paying people. There is no algorithm to success, other than building relationships.
