I never entirely "left" as I was always curious to see how things would play out. Then I decided to just fly under the radar, on both sides. Which basically means zero cross-posting, and only engaging with "trusted" people who are on both sides. When I'm on Steemit, I never talk about Hive; when I'm on Hive, I never mention Steemit.

If anyone gives me shit I'm quick to point out that all major bloggers and content creators publish to multiple venues, and to be so "precious" as to think your site can have "exclusivity" is social suicide unless you're paying me a salary!

I post most of my stuff here to the "World of Xpilar" community, which is mostly English based... with some Russian and some German. Xpilar is Norwegian, an independent witness, and now runs the Steemauto service (curation/trails, etc.). He's a good guy, and he has a large group of decent mods.

Of course SteemitBloggers/PHC still exists but like many of the old groups is dead as can be.

I'm sure you've noticed there's no shortage of "rewards pool rape," most of it from a handful of people delegating small fortunes to UPVU (and a couple of copycat services) in exchange for $200.00 upvotes. Steemcurator upvotes are legit and come from human curators.

I've long kept multiple blogs, so this type of gig is pretty normal for me...

But yeah, I am sure there are people who would appreciate something like a rebirth of PHC!
