Some things Blurt has going for it:
No downvoting, friendly vibe, and no insiders controlling the reward pool. While Hive is going backwards, Blurt is growing. I've been pleasantly surprised by the sense of community.

A Panama Mama ~ Hi! I'm New to Blurt!
PS - those little charges for everything, at first I thought they were not good, but now I see how they stop bots and spam - they are a turn off to new users with no Blurt tokens in their wallet - but new users only have to ask someone with an account - lots of people are happy to transfer some tokens to get new accounts started
Thanks for the welcome @frot and @ultravioletmag! All those little charges are pretty annoying, but I am trying it out by just doing what I normally do - leaving thoughtful comments and likes, etc. Then I'll see how it goes. I appreciate that it keeps the bots and lame comments away! I still need to look around a little on here, but life is super busy and I'm trying not to spend all day online. Ha! Thanks again and I look forward to more fun and posts on here!
I actually like the charges, once you have a bit of blurt its barely anything I even go back in and pay to edit a spelling error sometimes lol I just try not to focus on it really and I think it's a better way of dealing with spam than downvotes.
it also stops the hive guys from spamming it cause they would have to actually buy blurt to come over here and comment
Yes ppl just send random gifts, send newbies blurt, pay for new accounts here, it’s rly unique I hope it doesn’t get spoilt
Same to begin you might think blurt has less posts/ don’t earn as much and enjoy hive for a few months but wether it takes months or years, eventually you will find hive a toxic cesspitt of targeted downvoting of yourself or your friends. If you defend anyone or comment about someone getting unfairly targeted to 0, you’ll just be next. It becomes a negative place to spend ones time. It wouldn’t matter so much if it’s individuals but it’s coordinated by a group of whales you cannot compete with and see it as fun.
If you look around on blurt I think it has some of the best and most interesting/ unique posts in any blockchain social cause all the freedom lovers and people who want deep, authentic chat come here, you don’t just get ‘ nice photo’ over and over.
I rly believe stocking up on blurt now is an investment.
The total value of a crypto is based in communities... Like it or not...
Motivation of money is exactly why HIVE seems more valuable... To sum. 🤬🥓
