My Transition from Redditor to Hiver is Complete

I'm sure a number of people here can relate to spending too much time on Reddit. Probably people than would ever actually admit it. Some lurkers, some shit posters, and some people are just there for the memes. I've been an active Reddit lurker for like 10 years and recently realized how much of my time that app was occupying without any reward.

Forgetting About Reddit

As you probably know, Reddit is the front page of the internet. There's a subreddit for pretty much any topic you can think of. From gaming to news to memes, there really is everything there. All in your personal feed, customized to your interest. I used to spend hours just scrolling through Reddit. Sure I got a small dose of world news and the occasional useful piece of information... But a lot of the shit on my feed was pretty much just memes and shit posts. People promoting crypto scams, photoshopping arms onto birds, and sharing shitty life hacks... A plethora of dumb shit waiting to be up-dooted (upvoted). But what real value is there? What do you gain by spending all those hours on Reddit?

The short answer is nothing. You spend countless hours scrolling, voting, and maybe even commenting. Laughing at stupid mems, reading pointless shit. Don't get me wrong - there is some actual good content on reddit and some actual useful information. What I recently realized is that... I have barely opened the Reddit app in the past couple months. I've been investing my time here on Hive. Gaining real world value in the form of HIVE and HBD. Even deeper than that, earning different Hive Engine tokens that I would have never knew existed. Instead of looking at surreal memes, I'm generating compounding wealth from a decentralized blogging platform. I never really wrote anything on Reddit because.. What's the point? You get internet points known as "Karma" and they do nothing for you. They mean nothing. They have no value. Here on Hive, your "karma" is your Hive Power.

Focusing on Hive

Obviously this doesn't mean I'm deleting the Reddit app or anything like that. I'm just sharing my experience since I've stopped spending so much time on that app. When I started spending the majority of my time on Hive, I started to realize what my time is worth. When you know that you can be creating content or crafting your next blog post, you start to waste less time because you can earn from your time. Instead of spending 2 hours on photoshop creating a monstrosity (like the one above) for the Hybrid Animals subreddit, you could be spending your time in the LeoFinance community learning about new cryptocurrency opportunities. You could be spending your time on Proof of Brain learning about different parts of the world or reading about different life experiences. Instead of sharing your photography or art on Reddit, you could be sharing it with the Hive community and finding people who truly appreciate it and show it by giving you votes that can equate to real world value. There's a real opportunity here for people to create compounding wealth for a very long time here and we're just lucky enough to be in early.

Reddit has transformed from lightweight and lighthearted community into a place openly hostile to its users. No reddit I do not want your goddamn app!

0E-8 BEE

yeah, it's a cesspool at this point

Maybe you could create a Hybrid animal community here on Hive and share it back on Reddit.

I think you hit the proverbial nail on the head when you said wasting your time scrolling reddit.* These days we know our time is valuable and others are earning off our attention, so it is only fair to realize that your time and attention should benefit you also.

Reddit is a kind of social media like twitter for me though interfaces are different to each other, I can't compare Hive with them because for me HIVE is a second home where we share our words freely and there is no restriction and we can enjoy the freedom. HIVE pays for our time and deserves our time. Social medias are now a days a kind of waste of time or people use it to promote business to reach more people.

It might not be hive that does it but at some stage the rest of the world will wake up and realise that there are better options out there.

Earn for you time instead of make other rich. It will just take the right ap to make it happen.

0E-8 BEE

Yep, a lot of people are already waking up

Hive is a complete package, I have already quit many things for hive

Don’t spent the time on Reddit where you can’t make money off your content. I feel like if more Reddit users knew about hive they would also make the switch. It’s a pretty easy use case.
