The reality is that Hive would most likely not get more traffic even if it could get ranked in Google or other search engines. Very few are targeted to any specific audience or written for SEO. THere is even fewer articles that would be interesting to most outside of Hive.

In fact as you pointed out, most people on Hive don't even read what is posted, they just vote and move on. Those that do comment, are mostly transactional. They will only comment, if you comment on their post etc. Some don't even do that. The last couple points is why I have mostly stopped posting and wasting my time on Hive. There are a handful of people I enjoy interacting with, you included, but other than that, muh, just another crypto money making scheme to me.

Maybe that gets into the broader problem of SEO making the web unreadable. All these BS posts that Google loves like "How I Became Successful on X After Only A Week" or "Top Ten Movies With Clowns". I mean, honestly, I'd prefer to read a badly written personal post on Hive than any of that SEO crap.

It's a shame this has pushed you away. I always enjoy reading your posts. But you aren't the only one it's pushed away. Hive continues to shrink and shrink, and that's not entirely due to the falling price.

Google's alogirthm has become a little better than what you describe above. The last I played with it, your subject matter had to match what you optimized for. Example, if you were optimizing for fluffy pink elephants, your article better be about fluffy pink elephants. Now that may not be interesting to you and me, but it will rank well most likely for fluffy pink elephants and people looking for information about fluffy pink elephants. My understanding is that Google has gotten a lot better at filtering out fluff pieces just meant to bait people and are pushing toward good content now. BUt I haven't messed with it in sometime, so maybe its not so anymore.

Yeah, I may not be around that much as I have other things going on these days and Hive just isn't on my list of priorities. I will stick my head in occasionally and say hey to you and others though.
