Thanks for stopping by @katharsisdrill, always nice to "see" you!
I remember ending up here because I got so fed up and tired with the external world's (specifically Facebook) outright mean and combative attitudes in the wake of the 2016 US Presidential election. Like you, I found people here to give much more respectful and intelligent commentary. And so, I decided to "put my tent" here, as it were.
The economic aspect has become minimal for me. I'll let my HP balance build... and maybe in ten more years it will have enough value for Mrs. Denmarguy and I to buy an RV and travel around America for a while. Or not. I'm not attached.
Yea, I just pump up the Hivepower like you - then at least I can give some good upvotes.
