RE: Hive Versus Facebook - It'll Make You Appreciate What You Have
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
For me, the biggest difference between Hive and Facebook is that on Facebook, they decide what you see, while on Hive you have significant control over it.
I still have to be on Facebook but keep my time there to a minimum. The feed there is full of toxic rubbish which it's hard to filter out. Adverts, toxic posts about politics, all of it is jammed into your news feed by their algorithms. I've heard that they deliberately try to show you things that'll make you angry because their data shows it increases time on-site (meaning they can charge advertisers more).
Hive is based on Communities rather than a centrally-controlled news feed. While it may not be 100% perfect, the ability to filter out most of the content that winds you up is a huge benefit.
You're so right about the politics and the fact that it gives you what to see instead of your interests. I agree, Hive ain't perfect but I'm pretty sure as we keep improving it would near perfection one day. I so appreciate your comment on support brother. !WINE
