Indeed, I think Hive is a great option for sharing your work, supporting other creators, etc., but the big problem is the downvotes. Once you're on a blacklist, they demonetize everything and it's impossible to get off if you're on the list of @freebornsociety, @buildawhale, or @letusbuyhive, all of which are managed by @themarkymark who simply ignores attempts to remove you from the list (in fact, he downvotes my posts several times).
I'm currently on Blurt where I only earn 1/3 compared to Hive, but at least there are no negative votes there (that feature is not activated), it's not the same but at least it's going well for me at the moment.
