Having 2+ jobs, barely making ends meet, never having time for your family/kids just so they can get basic needs like shelter, food, education, why the fuck is that even a thing? Who's mainly benefiting from it?

The rise of wealth inequality will continue until radical changes happen and laws are passed that do side with the poor to middle class. Working people sacrifice their time for basic needs to exchange for goods and services owned by the wealthy few. If the system has enabled the few to accumulate wealth after recessions on top of no existing laws that provide mechanisms to move that money off their hands back to the government and regular citizens, then wealth inequality will just continue running its course until it becomes a dystopian society much like cyberpunk manages to portray it.

I don't mind the negativity if I look at it from the lens of how much free speech people have within a platform. If we only see less of posts we disagree, it's probably not a pro free speech platform. I noticed this comparison when on reddit and twitter. As for Hive, I think there's actually more people with negative sentiments unexpressed than what it shows out there. The reason is that to freely express disagreement with the social norms here leads to social penalties if not for downvotes, the fear of retaliation by being deprived of curation. I would say, there are more incentives within the platform to shut up and ignore the obvious problems than be vocal about it. Not only do arguments cost one time here but these also invite social reward penalties so people tend to be averse about addressing some elephants in the room.

There are outliers of course. These are usually users that can afford to speak whatever they want, not bound by the norms, or nothing left to lose. The last part is for people that already been pushed beyond recovery that there's no longer need to wear the social mask. But most are bound by the norms and it's these silent ones that have a lot to say especially unpleasant ones because from a social reward standpoint, people are incentivized to keep their heads down.
