In the end, we have to use whatever platforms work in our favor with minimal grief. If it means Twitter or YouTube, then so be it.

I'm just saying we should stick with the Hive ecosystem of dApps as much as we can. Part of that is because the solution may be in there and it can solve our problems. Part of that is to support our fellow Hivers and/or business owners for whom Hive is their business.

If the solution doesn't exist in the Hive ecosystem (or if the solution which Hive has is "inadequate"), then we go to the Web3 circle of dApps to find a solution we can use. If Web3 doesn't have what we're looking for (or if it sucks also), then we go back to Web2 and Big Tech.

Searching is something we should be able to do easily on Hive, but it's not what it should be. Hive offers a searching solution, but it's not what it can be. For this reason I use the Web3 search engine Presearch. It uses Google-style search functionality while rewarding searchers with its PRE token (an ERC20). For SEO reasons I would use Google to see how a post is doing. For any other reason I begin with Presearch.
