Most of the value I extract is not monetary... that HP/HBD part is just a game until now, at least for me. Not sure why, but I can't really take it seriously.
The memoirs part is very true, and the experience accumulated is impressive. I feel the same here, in my city, where many people come to retire - people with so many stories. The thing in Hive is that there is no repetition. My friends here repeat their stories often, but here in HIVE the story once told shall not be repeated. Which is somewhat sad, so something like a "Best of" like you suggested would quite interesting.
There is. I tell people the same stories in comments. People don't tend to read the whole context, the whole conversation, as they might on reddit. I like breaking that trend and injecting myself into the middle of other people's comments. It's fun :P
There is some repetition from people who spam and abuse, but it is easy to use your eyes to filter that stuff out.
With nine years of content, that is probably hard for me to do, and to go through, but if and when I do, I will publish as a peakd collection. (Which can also be viewed as a post) - I've started one for everything I've read this year, and that is probably a trend I'll continue each year.
Sounds like a lot of work, but I'd absolutely be a read of that work. I found an old post of one of your friends that he had written 9 years ago, and it was very interesting to see the change in his writing style and personality. We exchanged a few words about that on Discord, and it got me to understand a little more about that person. 9 years is a long time. People change, if they want to. Or life forces them to.
Well here is one of mine from six years ago: (I do have some stuff in my favourites)

Edit: I just read through the comments and there are more people that are lost in there... too :)
And a lot of the history of what came before hive, too.
That is a nice post, and an interesting perspective on the fulfillment in destruction. Things like that should be allowed to be re-posted - maybe with rewards burned or something. Just to keep it alive.
I might turn it into a video essay. That way, it will be new content - probably also without the typos :P
That sounds like an interesting idea! Though I, personally, am not a big fan of videos. I hate tutorial videos for example. I prefer it as a text, so I can easily scroll back and forth.
Ah, so you're more a wikihow kinda of man :)
I too, prefer text and instruction manuals for doing things, but sometiems, if I'm walking or at the gym, I like having a "video" in the background (audio only) to fulfil my brain with a bit of food for thought, instead of just background noise.
Unless I'm going with someone else. Then it is conversation, and me talking into the wind so they can't hear me. I am seriously bad at conversation while walking with people, because I throw my voice to all the wrong directions, but I try.
