There are dozens and hundreds of posts without comments, or only with bot comments, and even if you see people commenting, their comments are often bot-like, spam-like, visibly forced, because they do not actually have real interest in the content.
And nowadays this description fits appropriately the 90% of the Hive users.
There are a selected few people, who regularly receive good comments.
The rest is not, or very rarely.
Anyone, who look around, even if only for a few minutes, will see what is actually happening on this platform.
I've heard all this from you many times. So what are the answers? Are you friends going to join? They won't if you tell them it's that bad, but then it won't change. Your community could have a space here if you wanted. Sorry, but just complaining gets us nowhere and we already know the issues.
