Of course, politics exists everywhere ,even in the church and here on hive, it's natural
If you do not build anything real or solid, you are unlikely to make any real friends
And I love this political aspect here on hive. Following an auto for vote chasing is meaningless. Real friends connect because something more than upvote is attracting them..weda the author have a great stake yet or not. Building real connections on hive is another way to thrive better.
Yeah, people can build good connection here rather than just chasing whales (who only wants to associate with themselves) I understand that everyone wants to earn good, but sometimes there's nothing bad with having a group of like minded people who you can build together with, and support each other.
