Very insightful, I agree that a lot of people are showing signs of desperation for upvotes which isn't cool at all.

Many do rely on Hive for their earning and I am too but you've just opened my mind to think in a direction of trying something else offline although I've once thought about it.

I think we'd be less desperate or rely less on Hive earnings if we have good plans, act on them and grow both online and offline.
