I came to this post because I saw it recommended in a comment. I think many were leaving and still today6, a year later, are leaving for the same reasons:
▶️ False expectations about rewards.
▶️ High learning curve. Lack of simplicity in Hive.
▶️ Lack of initial instructions, a kind of guide with official information from the network on how to use it.
▶️ Feeling of unfairness in seeing mediocre publications well rewarded and seeing others of much value, poorly valued financially.

I will always advocate for a more user friendly and intuitive interface. I think that's part of the great success of apps or networks like Facebook, Instagram or Twitter: their simplicity.

Thanks for bringing us this important question for reflection.

What do you think, my friend @demotruk, would you consider doing another such post today to find out? Can the Hard Fork make things a little better on Hive?
