True musings. I'd say I'm also pretty much a content creator, enjoying the rewards when they come in and accepting it when they do not. I have been blogging for over twenty years on different platforms. Before I moved over to Hive it was on my own website. There may still be some minimal Google ads on there, I should probably check if I made a few pennys. But I do not like ads and run stoppers to not have to look at them. When I hit a page that is plastered with ads - I'm out of there in a heartbeat. Hive - I'm here for content and enjoy the building the rewards. That reminds me, I may have a couple of Hive to power up...
