I would agree with you! Why spend time on those social media sites when the time spent here actually rewards you?

Danger here is that there is the potential for Hive to become an echo chamber, we must guard against this.

become an echo chamber

can you explain it a little bit more 😀

Posted via D.Buzz

Sure! The "echo chamber" is the idea that because a grand majority of the people in a group think and believe similarly that we end up just saying the same things back and forth to each other, artificially reinforcing our beliefs because there is little outside influence/alternative perspectives. The danger I see is that, because we support Hive, we are less likely to keep our critical eye and thoughts towards both the good and bad of Hive. Only way to fully appreciate it and safely use it is to accept it wholly for the mixed bag of benefit and risk that it is, and to not delude others (specifically new users) into thinking it's the "miracle pill" that'll solve all their social media and financial problems.
