Welcome to Hive!
Firstly, thanks for dropping by. I visited your blog and Reblogged, Upvoted and Tweeted this
I get your concerns about Hive. There are investors on the platform and it is their job o make money for themselves! That said Hive is not a get rich quick platform and making money via curating posts is quite competitive.
For "normal" people it is a great place to blog. You might even get some financial reward but if you treat it like a blogging platform and interact with people and try to have fun that is the best approach.. For me anyway.
Have you tried joining @theterminal? They offer new people helpful advice and support. A lot of that is done on Discord (joining community groups on discord is really helpful on hive)
Good luck, have fun and drop by next time you post and say hi

Thanks!
I'm not very fond of blogging formats in general, nor am I what most would consider a "normal" user of anything. I'm considering setting up a privacy-oriented witness node as there seems to not be any.
There's major issues with Discord that make it a no-go platform for myself, some are shared with other big tech platforms and some aren't. I'll likely make a write up on these issues eventually, and maybe I'll start up a community on a more privacy friendly platform as well.
My biggest issue with Hive so far has been how slowly RC regenerates, though I'm aware that's tied to how many VESTS you have. My current amount is limiting and I can't comment quite as much as I'd like to. I figure I'll eventually have enough for that no longer to be an issue though, In fact, I just had a friend gift me a little Moneroj so I could exchange it for Hive because I was too impatient to wait three more hours to comment this, so that will probably fix the waiting.
