If you find the time to read or watch some of my posts... but quickly... Hive and it's layer two tokens have helped me supplement my income. And help in keeping my house hold running. If I was unable to liquidate when I needed it. I may not be here on Hive today.

The short answer is 'money'.
Gotcha.
I'm all in favor of making money at home. Another thing I'm all in favor of is social interaction at home. Unfortunately I haven't seen that much when I was on Steemit (since 2016) or lately on hive.
I recall before I got kicked of facebook for saying thing positive about Trump, that several hundred comments on post were common. Like entire conversations.
It was never like that for me on Steemit. I haven't seen much of it on Hive either.
I remain hopeful and optimistic.
I am glad you are "hopeful and optimistic".
One thing that has happened to me on Hive is that I have found people and communities that share in my same ideas and dare I say beliefs.
That is another thing I love about Hive. Once I found were I belonged on this online world it made posting and interactions easy.
"where I belong".
Speaking frankly I've wondered about that my entire life. Discovering where I belong on Hive hasn't happened yet either.
Keep searching, took me 50 plus years myself.
hope springs infernal.
I'm 71
hope springs infernal. - Me alao
Saw your reply, and thought I would say that you just keep on showing up daily and comment. To me a person finds their place by where they enjoy commenting the most. What gives you the most joy in your life? Make a blog post or comment about in communities that are of the same mind set you are. You don't have to find it over night. It takes time.

What gives me the most joy in life? I'm sad to admit that it's not the same as it was when I was younger. Right now I sleep a lot. I suspect that wouldn't be very interesting to blog about.
When I'm not sleeping I read. I wonder if 'book reports' would be very interesting?
I like to read also. So there is a community that has something on reading books. I like James Patterson type books. What type of books do you enjoy reading?
I read science fiction. When I was younger I read Heinlein, Azimov, Clarke, Doc Smith and all the masters. Unfortunately they all died. Then I begin reading Ian Banks (he died too) Weber and a host of authors mostly published by Baen Books.
Then catastrophe happened, as far a book buying is concerned, I retired. My discrentionary income (book buying money) shrunk. I mean REALLY shrunk. I used to spend a hundred dollars on a visit to a bookstore. Now I spend ten dollars a month on Kindle Unlimited. I still manage to find a lot of books to read but the overall quality has declined. It takes a while to find a good one but I keep trying.
It's been said that each of us is the average of the 5 people around whom we spend most of our time.
If we limit that calculation to people online, then each of us here is the average of the 5 people we encounter online in general.
If most of our time online is spent on Hive, then that's an improvement over who we found on the Big Tech platforms where we encountered more grief than joy.
Money helps, too, but it's only a part of it. As owners of Hive accounts and stakeholders thanks to HP, we treat each other not only as fellow Hivers but also as fellow business owners. Even if we have differing opinions and ideas, we respect each other enough to let others be to go their own way as they let us go ours. This brings us peace of mind, and that's more valuable than money.

The short answer is 'money'.
Gotcha.
And is that a bad thing in your opinion?
Money is neither good nor bad; it's just a tool we need. Our use of money determines whether it is good or bad. Most of us haven't learned to master money in the sense of being masters of money. Instead, we've been taught to be slaves to money. Along that path we've acquired love of money (never mind an unhealthy love of money).
Hive has helped many of us put a pause on that sort of thinking, and it has helped many of us make a paradigm shift into what our relationship with money should be like. It may not be obvious as we rot in RC Jail at first, but it becomes obvious once we pass dusting threshold and begin seeing notifications of curation rewards and author rewards. In that way, it's like a few scattered rubber bands clumping together to form some odd shape before enough join to form a sphere of rubber bands.

No. To the contrary. I think it's an excellent idea. My concern was the weasel words. Why not just come right out and say it? "Hive has changed my life by allowing me to make a bunchaton of money".
There. I did it for you.
Lol. Thank you. 😊
You're welcome.
I can't say Hive did that for me yet, but it did lead me to Cub Finance. Investing in CUB-- especially at today's fire sale prices-- will change my life. However, I would not have discovered CUB without Hive.
After another year, I want to say that Hive changed my life because of money I earned after starting with zip. Last year I aped into what I have. This year I want to be more systematic in what I do here.
