This will be a short post.
I will address two very precise points directly related to our beloved Project Hope Hive community and my recent experience now that we have exceeded 550 subscribers.
Very motivating and satisfying situations have occurred since our project has its own front end.
This new stage of Steemit marked a before and after in the history of decentralized social networks.
It is a golden opportunity for all the projects that have been advancing slowly. Now we have had the tool to reach more people more quickly.

As we could see in the publication of @ fucho80, from the beginning our hive began to set a trend, and we have remained one of the communities preferred by users and with a greater number of active publications.
Project Hope Hive has a group of frequent writers who have demonstrated their attachment to the philosophy and dynamics of our community. They are writers with a high level of knowledge, well educated and who adopted the spirit of mutual support that we want to convey and which represents the essence of our project.
To all of you: a BIG THANK!
My New Personal Experience
This is a small reflection that I had recently and I want to share with you.
I noticed now I hardly visit any publications that are outside the hive. I do my daily hours on steemit by reviewing and commenting on the publications of our active members. There are so many quality publications that are made daily that I have almost no opportunity to see anything else. I think this is a solid sign of our exponential growth.

Related to these points raised above, I noticed that a group of users who made some publications, which at first glance look like a great post, have joined our hive.
These publications have a common aspect. Despite being different users, they have similar structure and are based on YouTube video inserts.
I felt great joy when I approached the YouTube profile of these people and I could see that they are "Consecrated Youtubers" with tens of thousands of followers.
But then this joy became a concern, when I reviewed the comments section of these supposed users. Which it was the result? "Zero comments".
This is something extremely unusual for an experienced user in terms of crypto, blockchain and social networks and even more so for a Youtuber with this many followers.
Therefore I had to presume that these accounts were false.
There was a Legitimate Steemit User, who also noticed this. He did a more thorough investigation and could see that we are in the presence of a wave of spammers with the same modus operandis.
I highly recommend reading this Post and I ask you to drop your comments and impressions if possible, since 
Attention! A new wave of Youtube content spammers here at Steem. Proofed Fakers List and more... by @louis88
Recently, there has been a new wave of spammers (minimum 52 steem accounts - see list below) who publish various YouTube channels and their content here on Steem...
I say goodbye by inviting you to be attentive to these types of situations inside and outside our hive.
There will always be such unscrupulous people who incur identity theft simply with the intention of trying to get rewards.
This harms our community and the entire Steem ecosystem in general.
I think that in these cases the use of downvotes and red flags is justified.
