While I think that places like Hive fill a need, I don't see them as a complete replacement for real relationships. I think we do this a lot with things these days, where people for example swipe on Tinder, have a one night stand and get their fill of "intimacy" - is it the same quality as a loving relationship with a partner, raising kids, going through illness and financial hardship together?
To me, it is an imitation, a reflection or shadow of what we need, but enough to trick us into thinking we just need more of it and we will be okay.
