RE: I'm Officially Retiring from Writing Hive Posts

in #life11 months ago

There have been attempts to create anonymous posts. They'll publish the key, anyone can use it, nobody knows who's using it. Spammers pick it up and start spamming, or people use it to harass others. It gets shut down since it's just being abused.

After all these years I'm concluded people should do whatever they want. Focus on their own stuff. No point in saying what the platform should be for everyone, since not everyone will agree, and it's decentralized.

I do know it's fact majority users on any site are mainly consumers. That's why you see one video on Youtube with 1 million views. That's one million consumers. Majority of people on twitter do have large followings. You'll often see them liking tweets and leaving comments. And it just goes on like that.

Everyone coming here thinks they need to stand on the stage in order to earn. That's a myth. Consumers earn as well.

Yeah, I had that feeling when I first joined, I didn't really know what to post about, and heard people saying to find a niche, but I wasn't too sure what mine would ever be, so just got on with it. It was about 4 months into being here that I started writing fiction, and since then that has been my main focus, it's the first time sharing stuff publicly and the feedback I've received in the last year and a half has been amazing and I feel like I've come a long way in my writing.

I've also gotten to meet some really cool people on here, I've never really been a big social media person, I have an Instagram, but rarely post on it. I like it here though, and to be fair, whether it becomes this big mainstream thing, or stays semi-underground, I'll still be here.

"Find a niche" was hard for me, and as time passed I think I just made my own. I see things differently than most here and do things my way. Not everyone likes it but that doesn't matter. It's for the people who do. My most recent post was fiction. This one wasn't. Before this post I did some rhymes that built up to be character development for some art. But I'm not the artist that puts their work in a gallery. It's all comic/cartoony stuff. My own style. Underground as fuck and I kind of like that.
