Sorry for your losses. That has to be tough.
Hive is a funny old thing. Anyone can earn something here, but you have to put something in to make much and that can be effort if you can create what others want to see. I think we need to make more of the freedom it offers. People can build on it.
I've had fun doing some coding around Hive. @hivesql gives you access to all the data and there are some libraries to process it. My little @proofofbrian script is just a few lines to find posts and comment on them. I'm just not too good at web stuff. Maybe I'll look into the AI tools some time to help with that.
Happy Hiversary!
