RE: Publish0x Versus Hive: The Ultimate Guide With Similarities & Differences!

Having used both Hive and Publish0x, I can agree to most of this. Hive feels like a well-knit community, and within that community there are smaller subsets, with each group sharing differing interests and passions. The biggest downside with Publish0x for me, is that it doesn't feel like a community at all. It has that Medium-esque feel where people publish posts, and there's not a whole lot of engagement or chatter going in between.

With the exception of a few keen users, there's no fun and laughter at all. As such, I don't feel like it's an enjoyable experience, even though I'm merely reposting the stuff here on Hive. The rewards are, as you said, peanuts! Where we can earn sometimes tens of dollars here (though normally less), posts on Publish0x are worth cents. Literally, my posts are normally tipped less than $0.10. Money isn't the biggest motivator for posting, but at least there's some recognition for getting rewarded.

Not on Publish0x, and the biggest bounty I've earned so far is from a competition they had there. I didn't know about the fact that they're hiring writers, but you are right about centralisation and some degree of censorship. I've not had any posts been removed or flagged, but before publishing anything you're required to do a 4-point checklist, saying that you comply with this and that, and if you don't, your post will be removed.

In all, Hive's the better choice for almost everything. The UI is better, not to mention the post editor (it's god-awful on Publish0x). The only advantage I can find, is that when you're posting something on Publish0x, there are suggestions for the tags you're trying to pick. That's the only upside.

True. I enjoyed it for sometime as I was publishing content for a crypto company to gain awareness. But for publishers, not the best yet. They are trying to solve a problem but it is not really going anywhere.

I do hope they make improvements to it, soon enough. It's a neat concept idea, and there's certainly a need for more platforms in this space, just like Hive and (ahem ) Steemit. I'm still reposting there, but I wonder if it's a good time to just say goodbye. It feels like a lost cause for the most part anyways.
