Member-only story
I have been blogging regularly about crypto related topics on Publish0x and Medium. Over the years I tried several other platforms that supported crypto based content like Uptrend and ReadCash but they eventually shut down.
I tried HIVE on and off several times but could not write there consistently as I found the system of curation, multiple in house currencies like HBD, HIVE etc confusing.
Another challenge I faced was that HIVE was full of all sorts of generic blogs like photography, poems, food and everything under the sun. It was very difficult to make your content stand out. Publish0x is a very crypto centric platform so I never faced that issue there. I had similar issues starting out on Medium as it is very difficult to get views for crypto centric content but that changed suddenly for me when some of my posts on Airdrop hunting went semi-viral. What was easier on Medium was they just use a metric linked to how many paid users of the site read your content and directly send the payout in $ to your Stripe account linked to Medium.
Why Did I come back to HIVE?
