I very much agree with everything you have said here, but I must stress one thing:
In its primary sense, Hive was created as a blogging platform. It's also true that it has evolved into something more complex, but I still have to stress that (as I did at HiveFest) there is no better and more profitable platform for blogging than Hive.
It doesn't exist in my known universe.
I've tried quite a lot of other platforms and I totally agree with your point. There is nothing like hive when it comes to blogging.
Yeah, but with the latest developments, almost everyone can find something for himself, that's true, also. Oh, maybe you should segment advertising - funnel page for blogging, then for gaming, then for finance? 🤔
This is really what makes hive strong. Even in Liotes there are plenty of people in our community that do things on hive in a totally different manner. Some have never written a post and others have just played games. It's this diversity that makes it a great place for almost everybody!
Agree with your view, and btw great post @achim03 😃
Thank you :-)
