RE: Monomad: Experiencing a little bit of everything

Are you in your 20s, you remind me of me in my 20s talking into the void knowing that I'm talking into the void possibly with an at least subconscious feeling of sorry for myself and making passive-aggressive digs at a possible audience that is being too lazy to comment XD
I've been reading but am either too braindead to comment because it's either pre-coffee or late at night when I get to hive stuff or I start writing out a comment but never actually post it and when the next day comes I refresh my feed and move along otherwise I would have way more tabls open than I do now
I don't think I ever finished/posted the comment on one of your previous posts where I was going to say I think you should have just brought the drone with you from the outset.
I'm going to assume that a lot of people in the cities (or at least the English?) are like a lot of the Australians here since...early 1900s from a probably inaccurate memory (most of which were from UK so maybe it's that) where they want both the idyll country life with all the convenience (but not the chaos) of the city. And even present day back when I was at uni only a handful of people dreamed of the apartment in the heart of the city, most of them had the suburban ideal (quarter acre block half an hour or less out from the cbd/other favourable major regional centre as while there are a few regional centres, a couple of them are viewed as unfavourable prestige-wise).
Of course the flipside of that is they're either way too lazy for or their lifestyles aren't compatible with the maintenace work required for the big house on the big block (or one or the other).
I love the squeeworthy puppy and the mountain, such nice shots XD
I am 29 :^) but it wasn't meant to be a a serious complaint, just more a bit of blunt humour. I have a lot of cool stuff that I could share on Hive but I just feel that Hive is in a weird spot at the moment, and my priorities are shifting away from Hive a bit more as I find web2 stuff actually more rewarding to post certain things on. Hive's a bit too uncertain for me to want to put in hours creating something deep and informative about an exploration, for example, knowing I'd make the same amount of money as I do now just posting 4 - 5 photographs and significantly less text.
For example, YouTube may not pay me up front, but the views and platform make it more beneficial to focus on for forward growth than posting something here after 5 hours of prepping the post and making $5 where it's ultimately buried within 24 hours given curators don't really touch anything beyond it. I don't really care if I don't get comments, and a lot of the time they're more a result of your own interactions; mine have been a bit thin as of late because of that moving interest.
I intentionally didn't take it with me since I only took a backpack on my assumed two weeks to Turkey (now six months and two other countries also visited). I was afraid of having it rejected at the airport.
I think I've actually realised for the past 7 years I've been wasting a ton of time and potential trying to be 'exclusive' to Hive and not treat it like a dumping ground, but it seems that most are doing that and making pretty good money. Not that I care, just more that 'if you can't beat them, join them' sort of attitude in the end. :^)
I want to say I don't understand the exclusivity thing but I fully understand the exclusivity thing, I just also generally disagree with it. Post everywhere you want to post wherever you can be bothered keeping up :D
meanwhile I actually cut back to just posting here and on my blog because here is where I get the most interaction and my blog is mine and also time is a thing
Oof yeh I forgot about the batteries. They're not removable?
This is turning out to be quite the trip for you XD
Yeah it has been an unintentional self-crippling, I think. Just from all the time I had to put into Hive when I was part of a group that clearly don't actually give a shit about Hive/communities but insist on encouraging workload on people. I didn't realise how damaging it all was and how little I was getting out of it. Now I am free and see in reality I was just stuck focusing too much on one thing that hasn't been working.
It's a good thing! But also, about the drone: it was more the rules and regulations plus their now popularity in war that had me spooked. I didn't want it to get confiscated or bring up questions.
