Whatever scraps of free time I managed to claw back, I’d waste doomscrolling Facebook—hours lost to unhinged conspiracy threads
I post art on facebook(and get a few likes at best). After that I watch funny animal photos and videos. Then I log out. So at best I get a few laughs from using facebook.
I been using Hive for 7+ years but at times I still feel like a complete noob about crypto. Still Hive is much better than facebook or youtube. Some of my posts earn a few dollars some much less. But that just means that people liked my art/ post more or less. At least here I don't have to meet some stupid requirements like get x views/ followers to get paid.
Yeah, I lurk every so often on Facebook, but year by year less and less.
The way I think about hive, and it seems your use case is similar… hive is my creative digital diary first. It serves me by having a place for my ideas, creativity, family adventures to all be held immutable. I still have boxes of photos and physical writings at my child hood home… but now that is Hive for me.
I don’t really care so much about the money… the value is a place for my creativity, growth and human journey to always be, and never be censored.
So it seems similar that your art and artist journey is here on hive, it your legacy to always have… the upvotes and comments, just bonus… that hive provides the space and un-censorable data ownership… that the real magic of hive.
