It happened at least once before:

It is not that difficult to create a separate folder on your computer to store photos (or copies of photos) that have been already published on Hive. For management purposes.
Yes, I should have done that. But I haven't. However, I didn't feel like I needed it either. The photos are mine and I use them as well and as interestedly as I can. I made my posts with love for the cause. Wanted to bring joy and beauty. And if there are photos from a year or 4 years ago, I don't see spam in them. Obviously you do. I think this is a sign that my work and thoughts are not valued. I won't be making any more posts, so I'm saying goodbye to Hive. Too bad. I really had fun. Thank you very much to everyone who supported me and bye bye🤗😘
