Sorry for the late reply. Thank you so much! That’s sure motivation if I have ever heard it.
I can’t even express to people just how much hive changed my life. It was a life raft for me, not because of the money but because I needed a place where I felt my efforts were paying off and it’s the first place I felt that at all.
Feel free to share this with people. My hope is for it to reach some people who have blogged but haven’t had this kind of community and this kind of impact on an ecosystem, or some people who have thought about blogging before
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!
