I think there will be a little less abuse on Hive.
People didn't buy their airdroppes hive, so the argument that we have an investment to get a return on is untrue for the airdropped amount (this was nver a good argument on Steem anyway).
As for that earned after the airdrop it will be earned on a chain where bidbots and circle jerking excessively are unacceptable. So there will be no payback for stopping it on hive like there was on steem (a lot of those random downvotes were from bitter former bidbot enthusiasts).
I'm probably naive to hope this, but let's see.
I agree, the energy here will be different (I hope), as people feel more empowered to take an active role in governance.
Thanks for your comment!
