I claimed my Hive account very recently. I have published articles on my Hive channel since then, and here is what I have noticed. I seem to get more upvotes on my articles on Hive than I did on Steemit. Hivers are quicker to respond to my posts, comments and replies on the Hive writing platform than Steemians are on Steemit. The Hive writing platform has a better search feature than the Steemit writing platform does. In other words, so far so good. Will Hive stand the test of time? It certainly does appear that way, but only time will tell. All we can really do is post quality content and let the Internet do its thing to connect us with people who are going to be interested in reading and viewing it.
