I think maybe people are just getting stuck in a rut with Hive, it's all becoming a bit routine maybe?!?
Having said that I quite enjoy doing the rounds and chucking in a few comments as I see fit! But I never feel obliged to.
Maybe people post articles that are too long, it's often easier to read something really quick and respond to that.
I'm not sure people get much meaningful engagement on other platforms you know, at least not the average user!
The disturbing thing on here is that no one hardly ever comments on old material!
It can become routine and sometimes I feel I need to take a break, but then I will be missing out and won't be able to keep up with things. I don't really want it to become like work.
There should be audiences for long and short posts. I know people have issues with micro-blogging here, but ultimately we each get to choose what we vote on.
Old posts do get neglected and it's a shame they cannot still earn, although comments on them can.
It's not necessarily a bad idea to take a break from Hive every now and then! I should do really, maybe I will next week come to think of it, a few days can't do any harm.
Possibly engrave would be a way of breathing life back into old posts, you can organise everything into different categories there!
