These are just my thoughts. I have no interest in right or wrong. 🤓
First off, I dislike these: "Follow, Comment, Retweet" Twitter-based Casino games whereby the H̶o̶u̶s̶e̶ Author always wins. Remember, folks; they're designed to gain more followers and exposure for the thing you're being asked to share; you don't see users every day saying, "Share my post, and I might give you......". Having said that, I do the lottery, so I suppose it's no skin off my nose to do the three enchanted tasks of enrichment in an attempt to win 100 Hive. 😀
Second. I can't see it myself. I've seen people saying Microsoft would be finished for over 20 years now, that famous saying of: "Year of the Linux desktop!" and yet Microsoft is bigger than ever! The thing we have to remember is, Facebook has a brilliant usage model. There's no pressure to gain tokens, crypto or upvotes (God forbid downvotes). There's no need to worry about plagiarism or making sure your stuff is formatted correctly, that it has an image because nobody bothers with a post that doesn't have an eyecatching snippet image. Oh, and spending at least two hours a day commenting on peoples posts, even if it is a piece of turgid bilge water that was obviously churned out just to keep the production line rolling. 🤣
Look at the UI (User Interface) of Facebook against Hive. Facebook is designed to encourage conversation, whereas Hive is designed to encourage comments. As an example, how many posts has anyone seen on Hive that is: "Off out to Pink Rhino tonight, going to wear my lucky underpants"? None! Why? Because as I say, Facebook is for chatting with your mate's while Hive is for "Producing good quality content", which good quality followers can make intelligent and articulated comments on. They're two different business models that just happen to look the same on the surface. 🙂

Thanks for the insight, I guess Facebook has better UI than Hive until Facebook totally created chaos and division on each countries. The main point here is freedom which is far more important than anything else, in my humble opinion, I suggest to watch the Netflix movie called
Social Dilemma, in case you haven't seen it yet.On tweeting, I treat that sharing Hive on other people on Twitter is helping. Your freedom of speech is the most important thing for you IMO. Great to see your comment
I've seen it. Some of the participants twisted the information they presented as evidence tbh, and you'd need to work in the IT industry (Like I do) to pick up on it. Hence, my advice is, "Don't take everything you see or hear as gospel even if it does fit in with your views and values."
I can assure you there's no secret group of techies manipulating your internet experience to send you in the direction they want. Although having said that, "Profiling" has been around forever. It makes sense to show you adverts that, based on your web activity, is not only likely you'll look at but probably will increase your likelihood to buy.
Yep, Facebook is a perfect platform for manipulating minds. Still, I find it hysterical that people think Mark Zuckerberg is sat in his office stroking a white cat and screaming: "Make them all nationalists!" Mark cares about money, so it's about being able to go to the money men and saying, "I've 20 Million people here who all like liking telegraph poles. How much will you give me for access to them?" There's one thing people forget about not only Facebook but the Internet in general. The vast majority of the population on the planet couldn't give a shit about privacy or freedom or even security for that matter so long as they can see that farting monkey on TikTok, buy that torch from Amazon without faffing about with two-part authentication they're happy pretending on Facebook they earn 10 x more than they actually do and have far more expensive holidays than Sheril from year 4 at their former school does.
Nobody really believes in Freedom; what they actually believe in is their form of Freedom, whereby there are boundaries you must not cross over, and that's not Freedom, is it? 😉
