Almost every week if I don't forget it, we run a Mission within the Liotes Community where we ask people some questions that we find interesting. This week, we asked them about their New Year's resolutions. What I found very interesting is that several people will try to spend less time on hive. We have to ask ourselves: is hive too addictive?
We always complain about not having enough new users on Hive but what about all these old users who tend not to be able to get out of the Hive addiction? What's the problem with us?
Ok, of course we need to click on the different Hive games every day. We need to fight a couple of battles on Splinterlands, do some stuff on Risingstar and maybe attack some people on Golemoverlord. Fine, no problem with that. Once this is done, we probably start to go over to Ecency, Peakd or Inleo to check all the notifications that we got. Who upvoted my posts? Who gave a comment? Are there any mentions? That's always a cool part that we look forward to. Now, we need to answer these comments. It would be bad if people came to our posts, left a comment that would remain unanswered. Once this is done, we should make sure that our voting power doesn't reach 100%. Let's check our feed and give some upvotes. Oh, this looks like an interesting post! Oh, there are so many comments on this one. I need to check what it's all about... Well, where were we. Ah yes, we need to use our upvotes. Let's do that.
Ok, now the easy part is behind us and we need to come up with a topic for today's post. Hmm, what should I write about? I don't have any inspiration. Let's check the trending posts, maybe I get an idea there. Oh, why did he get a downvote on this post? Maybe it's just the usual downvotes because payout is too high but anyway let's see. There goes a real shitpost but how could it get so much upvotes? I need to investigate. What was I going to do? Ah right, I was looking for inspiration to write a post... Hmm, still nothing. Let's check my phone, maybe I can write about one of my recent excursions if I have some pics available... Oh I just remembered, today is the first of the month, so I can do a Hive power up post. That's easy. Uff, I was worried I wouldn't find a topic... Ok, let's write this post. Hmm, what community should I post in and what tags are appropriate? Oh, never mind I just use what I use all the time. Let's post this thing!
Ok, toilet break...
So let's see whether I got some upvotes already? Oh, there is even a comment there... Shit it's from a bot... Ok, not much yet, probably it will come later. Meanwhile, let's check the games. One click here, one click there, a lineup over there. Let's check the post again. Yesss, already 0.2$ upvotes. That's great. No comment yet but that's normal...
Now, we watch the time and we see that most of our day is already over. We have forgotten to eat and maybe it's time to switch off the computer. Or we just eat in front of it...
If your day is somewhat like that, then probably you suffer from a certain degree of Hive addiction... I was there and I needed to take some steps to make it less bad. How addicted to hive are you?
