The hive blockchain have created that opportunity for many users to derive the passion and likeness to write probably because of the rewards and benefits attached to it. But then I would say the changes is clear because things you don't do before is now occuring on a daily basis that now look even hard to neglect.
I also don't like writing much but with the impact and opportunites hive have given I would say I can't miss a day without writing or reading other people's content because I derive joy doing so without regrets.
