I hear you. A selection of my posts unlike this one which is a "report" type post, require hours of research and writing in order to put them together. My recent one on near-death experiences is a good example of that. The $5 it earned was nice, but since I only get half of that, it doesn't match up for the time put into it which I could have spent on the the platforms that I write for where the renumeration is more balanced with the effort. Still I do love Hive and while I may not do another all-monther, I plan to keep on posting here because I love the community.
