The irony is what we experience when we come to HIVE for the first time... I remember when I came here... After a month or so, it looked so shallow, and I got into the "wrong group" of people where I was "observed" as a person who would "fill their bags"... Or even better, not really as a person at all, but as a bot who gives upvotes and prints money...
But, after a while, the completely opposite picture was formed, where HIVE went much beyond any other social media network, creating bonds with people that I would never expect! Participating in HiveFest and many other Hive meetups made this impression even stronger... Of course, it's not like that with every person on HIVE, but it's nice when you bump into such people and connect!
