If you are posting to make money that is the wrong attitude!

Hive is a effectively free, decentralised, censorship resistant storehouse & database for your intellectual and creative output.

If you post on any other platform it can be disappeared or just become lost in the noise. Also, you probably have to PAY to post on other platforms, certainly any serious piece.

With Hive you have a free permanent record of your intellectual & creative output that is stored on hundreds of computers around the world.

If you don't feel like posting so regularly, that is fine, but this "leaving Hive" business is catastrophising.
