I'm a combination of routine and utility. It still helps me a ton to have a blog as a tool to stay disciplined and as sharp as possible with my betting activity. That alone gives me a ton of value.
The reality of Hive is that most start out to earn and the ones that stay do it for the community or the routine. Too few start a blog here because they actually want to, which is one of the major weaknesses of Hive I would say. I don't see anyone starting on Medium, blogspot, ... without genuinely wanting to have a blog.
I did start with blogs way before I even knew hive. Was just trying to find out if it was something for me or not.
Always like to share ideas or bets. Creating a blog is much harder than creating a network on Hive. Even more difficult to be discovered.
I know your accounts help you to stay on track. Still gold mines for the ones who really wants to be serious in betting!
