I think we have had this conversation before and you sound like one of my best mates @steddyman who refuses to post now for the same reasons.

I get a decent poke at the pie but still, it's a bad use of my time, yet I still do it. It all depends on what you write about and what people want to read.

You may argue it's all about stake size, and I would agree with you mostly, but I see other people with small stakes who do OK.

HIVE gives you a decent return for just curating, better than our shit banks, and better than most stocks, even high dividend ones. I would still argue that a daily return is better than a twice-yearly one (the LSE).
