Honestly, I have no idea why people that have been here for a very long time. Just write in their little circles. They know full well that they were initially hooked because of post rewards, so why wouldn't they support new users because it supports the entire Hive ecosystem to bring on board and retain people? Even if you were worried about scammers, it doesn't take much to do a little research and have a bit of trust. Mind you when I am busy I can't be bothered and just comment on the people I know so I'm guilty also I suppose haha
