I'm so sorry to hear about the package (unless it was something that allowed you some freedom and set you up fairly to then start thinking more about life and producing content, in which case, congratulations!)

it is an odd time to be alive. More and more of us will find that redundancy is a state we are reduced to as part of the tradfi machine, while the whole world begins longing more and more strongly for real human experience. What does that look like without arbiters or oracles, without rules or reductions on the "right way" to be an individual or an identity or an influence?
Much of it comes back to stories, and their telling. They are a part of how we define value, whether tangible or soul bound. As an every-day user, you are exactly who and what contributes to this value, even as you're told that public, free to access content is inherently worth less. We know better.

There's a time and a place for everything. I'm very much not at all against privacy chains, anonymity tools, monetization models and functional centralized businesses. But the choice of where you go and how you use or release or trade or share or purchase or protect is the crux of where web3 is changing the world. I believe strongly in the idea of the multichain functional toolkit that supports being able to human better, and this is often what really grabs people and figures heavily in what defines and delineates Hive in the wider cryptospace.

So thank you for your kind words, and more than you know, the willingness to be interested and engaged while relearning how to post corporate people. I'm there myself now and it's a pretty big leap of faith. There are many opportunities, but to stick along with one that I've watched grow and change while also potentially being able to do more to help it along is an odd one. The human aspect of Hive means that I don't feel 100% ready to just make a decision on what that looks like without finding out what other people who have built it think is important.

What tasks do you wish were more actively created and compensated under the purview of Hive as a DAO for the betterment of someone like you, the more important every[day]man?
