I don't really see 'working' on Hive by writing as that different from working as a freelance writer anywhere else - you try and find a balance between what you want to write about and what people want to read and then publish, there's no guarantee of a return even after years of work for most writers - at least on here you're 'getting paid' directly by other people - personally I think that makes your income more secure than having a publisher 'bear the risk of low sales' by paying a set fee for a work, because it's less likely your income stream will be suddenly cut off on the whims of one editor, or an algorithm (at least for now).

Maybe income is also more secure than burger flipping, at least if you're on a zero hours contract!

We're fortunate on Hive that we can earn as much as we do writing about stuff that interests us, few have that privilege!

Of course if the Wolf gets his way, we'll probably be earning a lot less.

Exactly! It's astonishing that such a thing can even exist.

Possessing Hive Power gives one power over the allocation of token inflation.

Possessing HIVE gives one power over the value of not only HIVE but Hive Power.

Half of all liquid HIVE is possessed by traders on exchanges who trade it to try and grow their BTC stacks in a negative sum game the main beneficiary of which are us, the user base of Hive.

Of course if the Wolf gets his way, we'll probably be earning a lot less.

If Wolf gets is way, most of us will certainly be earning much less. I think the volume of posts would go down quite a bit. I also suspect people would be talking about Hive and earnings much less.

Well that makes sense, most of us wouldn't have much left to talk about on that front!

In a way that could be a blessing in disguise because from then on conversations would most likely be about something that interests non-hivers as well.

But as for monetization goes, Instagram might be worth trying for photographers. There is a lot of competition but the potential audience is a billion strong.

Yep, it isn't that different that freelance writing, but most people have never freelanced, so they have no idea - same as invested or run a business. People seem to think that being your own boss means "doing what you want" and it does, if you want to have no business.

Maybe income is also more secure than burger flipping, at least if you're on a zero hours contract!

The trick is to be the best burger flipper. ;D Actually, I was a crew trainer when working at McDonald's and the management team definitely knew who was going to get hours, and who wasn't. Being fast and reliable is an advantage everywhere.

Of course if the Wolf gets his way, we'll probably be earning a lot less.

I don't think Hive is ready for that yet, but I do think that it is heading somewhere in that direction in the future and have said so for about 3 years now.
