I do find it a bit suspicious that the people are leaving HIVE for Blurt.blog, a website represented by an emoji who's mouth is covered.
It's the graveyard of HIVE'rs, where people go when they are no longer welcome on HIVE for one reason or another. If you don't take the piss, it will never happen to you or anyone. The reward pool is guarded well.
very interesting to hear!! your comment and the other's are really helping me understand the why behind this supposed exodus. thanks so much for commenting and letting me know what is up. I plan to continue to share here on Hive and not "take the piss" as you so wisely suggest. Thank you!!
'Exodus'.., is a word that Blurt people like. They they want that and it's never been so. The token being over 100x less valuable than HIVE hardly helps their cause, and having few talented developers is another factor.
I don't know if you use peakd.com or ecency or even hive.blog, but having a half decent interface helps and theirs has not changed since the birth in June 2020 or thereabouts, and then there's fees for everything you do.
They might be piddly fees, but I don't like any type of fees and that's where HIVE (and STEEM) are different. STEEM is another story, it's mostly for far Eastern people that speak other languages now, but it's where HIVE was born and there's a dark history to it.
