I tested it, included hive hashtag drops views. But even more interesting, you can't see them easily on other devices.
I do have not a huge sample size, but there is a pattern.
BTW "shameless promo", Psyberx game starts end of the week with multiplayer alpha on steam, so maybe that could be used to advertise hive more and free transactions and so on.
Better as paid advertisement is IMO projects that build here. Also more difficult to censor :)
PsyberX ha, I want to play!
