You've made some good points, not least of which is the time factor. Yeah, it takes time and in modern society when people are mostly time-poor it's something that needs to be thought about. Clearly you enjoy it so you make the time and hive commensurate to the time you have available. It's important to prioritise also of course, which you're also doing.
Having said that though, I see people flicking their phones o that endless Facebook feed, barely staying long enough to actually absorb anything, passing over the information, images or whatever in an almost zombie-like state...And they call that time well spent.
Hive is different, can be different if a person chooses it to be. Like you say, engage with ones' friends, maybe add in a little extra engagement with others outside one's own group...It's a flow of information and a deeper connection to people around the world than the superficial nature of Facebook or the other social medias.
So, yep, you'll find the time if you want to. I have mates who do many things, and never understood how they could fit children into their lives. Once the rug-rats popped out though...Yeah, they still do those other things and fit the kids in. Human's are adaptable. We'll find the time for what we value.
As long as you enjoy hive then it's the place to be. I think I said in another comment here, if I stop enjoying it, I'll stop doing it, and I mean that. There'll be no idiotic announcement post, I'll just cease to be here.
Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it.
