I've sort of grown tired of how stagnant it has become
Yeah. I know what you mean. It's mostly the same old stuff over and over again on Leo, not including your posts of course. š There are sooooo many Splinterlands and Rising Star ones.
I'm really enjoying the life story posts out of Suriname, Venezuela, Myanmar etc. though. It's very educational to hear what it's like in other countries first hand. Makes me feel very appreciative of and grateful for my personal situation.
I was one of the newbies who flocked to Steem in 2017 and was very active. Were you around before that?
I never made the transition to hive as an author.

Yeah, and to be honest, apart from some bright sparks, the comments on posts are also pretty manufactured and just designed for an upvote and no real engagement its just pop a comment hope for an upvote.
I do enjoy the real hobbies and stories, which are cool, but they are drowned out by shilling and self-promotion and basically just content farming. The travel posts are often really interesting too, I like those, but other than that, I can't see why I'd bring anyone here. I've recruited at least 10 people, and I don't blame them for not staying.
I came in around 2016, but I was still a teeny account begging for upvotes lol my first 50 posts got zero rewards or engagement.
I felt like I'd give it till the next bull run to see if it caught on and now we here and well doesn't look like much is happening, no salt on HIVE i mean even steem or any of these other social projects haven't done much either.
I will probably start to blog less here soon and find something else I want to pursue
Oh no. I learn so much from you! š
Maybe when CUB/Hive goes to the moon, as mentioned in a couple of posts, you'll be tempted to stay! š

Lol it depends if moon brings more people to engage with that would be cool, if everything is the same apart from the price thatās not fun!
I actually came here from medium I used to blog there and my blog was monetisable but I didnāt choose to enable the pay wall but engagement still dropped and then I found this place which was hopping at the time
Lol donāt worry Iāll always share my learnings online for free!
Good point. That's what happened on Steemit. Way before Justin Cun arrived. It was really buzzy when I first arrived and the, as the price went down, more and more people left. As you say, without engagement it's not a lot of fun. That's one of the reasons why I didn't transition to Hive.
