As I have said before, writing is part of my daily process and the rewards are a bonus that I appreciate greatly. as it gives me the opportunity to create more. Incentives matter, but rewards still have to be earned.
I don't mind when the autos are down - as surprisingly to some, I do have active readers and voters too :D
Of course, I was kidding. :)) I love Hive, I really do. I won't say the rewards aren't cool, but, it is like a bonus on top of your regular paycheck.
I never pay attention to the autos actually as most of my posts are scheduled while I am working. No cell phones at work, so it cuts my time down on here, so I spend my time wisely. :))
You have lots of active readers and voters! We adore your wit and charm. ;)
