I like to think as a symbiotic relationship and not really hunt arena. Everyone needs help in order to progress in life, being that financially, task wise or even just story telling kind of learning cases.
When I started, many years ago, I would never imagine to reach where I got into. And to be honest, that very rarely involved catching the ride of someone, but today is something that I would consider a very important aspect of keeping consistency and attendance. Helping each other and collaborating is an important aspect of any blockchain, all alone the HIVE one.
