Those charts show the Pareto principle at work in the worst possible way. Web2.0 is a cesspool of vanity for sure.
I tried Twitter. Some people were interesting to follow, but there was no real engagement for me.
Facebook is eternally frustrating. On one hand, everyone with whom I might want to keep in touch seems to be there. On the other hand, so is every obnoxious authoritarian and bootlicker.
Here, we own our content. Our hive power represents direct ownership of the platform. Serious engagement and content creation is rewarded. Not perfectly, but certainly not dysfunctionally either.

Yep. And I suspect that it is a very sharp curve in that 25% too.
Follow for follow?
Glad that doesn't happen here (much) anymore :)
And yes, Facebook is a challenge, because family and friends use it. In some way it is "healthier" in the sense you are keeping connection with familiars - nbut I think that has changed over the last decade too. I used to use it for staying informed about dance events and connecting with people I would meet at them - but I don't attend them anymore, so there is no point in being on Facebook.
There is no perfect, but what I like about decentralized Hive is, it is always evolving. If we look at all the social platforms as being considered decentralized media, they change and evolve. But as individual centralized companies, they are more set in their ways. Hive is similar, but it is all built on the same platform, meaning that death of one, is not death and there is a lot of room to pivot experiences, without losing userbase.
If I didn't use it to promote library events, I think I would abandon Facebook altogether. And I like the resilience built into our blockchain ecosystem with multiple frontends and nodes. It is resistant to both censorship and technical failure.
