Hive is indeed a good personal diary (to write about our lives) (mostly for ourselves).
People can try to advise others, but without actual content consumers (readers), it is pointless.
Blogspot is also good on its own.
You can even monetize it (with Google AdSense), if you like.
Years ago I regularly wrote about Linux related things on Blogspot.
Nowadays I do not even have a PC/laptop, so nowadays I am not using Linux.
Except my Motorola Moto G22 (Android 12) smartphone.
Well there are some readers right but ya there could be more. I try to share mine out so maybe web2 people see it.
Another key point is that it's kept there on the blockchain. We can't get banned here . I mean the platform could hide our stuff but it's still gonna be there.
I think hive is better than blogspot. Still haha just personal opinion
Sometimes ad has issues and can't monetize cause there's some rules there.
Hive on the technical level is certainly better than Blogspot.
The main advantage of the Hive blockchain is exactly the censorship resistance.
Everything people are posting remains on the blockchain in an unedited, undeletable way.
Even if people edit their posts/comments on the frontends, still all of the edits will be visible on the blockchain.
And the posts/comments cannot be actually deleted.
Only on the frontends, but they will be still readable on the blockchain level.
No one can delete them.
I heard that theoretically even if it would be possible to delete the posts/comments, it would technically break the entire Hive blockchain.
Ya so hive can be better if we can market it . Everyone using hive stakeholders need to help bring people to hive.
Even blogspot is no good with no readers you need to drive traffic. Same goes for hive .
I still feel hive is an underrated blockchain. Just need some more builders and more marketing
Nah we don't wanna break hive XD
And proper marketing.
Steem/Hive had marketing in the past, but bad. It was advertised with the "post, vote, earn" slogan. This attracts mostly the selfish and greedy people, so it contributes to (drive) the ruining factor.
The result of that bad marketing is the current main userbase of the platform.
But currently still this is what most Hive users do.
Not on the technical level, but with their behavior.
