It's a complicated question, even the most optimistic and passionate hive lovers might be at a loss. Right now, I'm feeling a bit down too, I won't deny it, but I think that if you lose your grip, the best thing to do is try to stay calm and see if it's worth continuing to post.
I also can't deny that being able to create content and get paid for it is really cool, but if you do that and can't use it to pay your bills or anything like that, it gets complicated too. I love the friends I've made here, the challenges we've overcome, but I want things to work out too.
Anyway, I think I would continue to create content on Hive, but maybe I would slow down a little.
