We had a UK whale, but he has been powering down for some reason. I'm a long way off that level. We've had many more Brits around over the years, but most have dropped off. People all have other things going on. I find plenty here to enjoy.

The saying, "Each to their own", springs to mind.
I find Hive too much like hard work to derive the same pleasure from it that you do. Twenty years ago, when I was a prolific blogger Hive would have been a perfect platform for me. Today, my blogging is very few and far between, which means the rewards (And I'm not just talking financial) are very small or nonexistent. As with all Social Media platforms these days, they need input pretty much 24/7, to maintain an 'eyes on' experience. Take a day off, and one definitely slips down the list of viewing interests. 🤷♂️
I agree. I know that 'blogs' are not really a mainstream thing, but some of us enjoy them. I get enough engagement here to keep me happy. Apart from Hive I use Mastodon to follow various people. I am on Facebook, but the feed there is pretty crap. I like that Hive has no algorithm, so I'll see whatever people I follow post, even if it's just once a month. I'm not on Twtr any more. I do use Feedly to follow various blogs.
People can do short format here, but it's a different vibe to other options. I see Hive as an option if you want to blog without hosting something yourself or rely on some corporate platform. There's potential to earn something from it. Obviously it has not really taken off as we would like, but there is competition in various forms.
We've both seen the online world change a lot over the years. I will just do what I enjoy and what I have time for.
