You are winning at Hive in that your posts make more than 95%+ of users can expect plus you get good engagement. I really don't worry too much about what community to post in as I think that the big ones are fairly pointless as you are fighting for attention. I only really use communities with a very specific focus so that I know what sort of posts I will find there.
Hive is tiny and can be random. A very few people will divide if a post ranks high in trending. We should just be happy if we are getting something from it and that does not have to be purely financial.
Yes, those are some good points. I was hoping this didn't come across as me complaining about rewards and more as an observation about how unpredictable HIVE can be.
That is a real problem for anyone who would like to make a living here - like writers, musicians. I've just been over to look at substack and they seem to have a more stable subscriptions model. Subscriptions on Hive are not without their challenges, especially if hidden from view. Plus the recurring payments facility in the wallet is not reliable.
