It is interesting to find this reasons to quit Hive, especially because it includes the unwillingness to change. Anyhow, there are other authors who have adapted themselves to this ecosystem, publishing copies of the work they distribute elsewhere. There are communities like "Proof of Brain" that never silence any publication. There are Hivers (like me) who appreciate those who share their work here, because we don't visit other sites. As you noticed already, if you just quit, good friends are lost.
