I agree about the singing part when it comes to me, it is unnecessary pain to others especially children. I ran with a few of the contest when first starting out, just to find a place to fit, but then I found myself growing in other ways, and left the contest road for, (like you), the newer users. They were fun and did give a bit of direction.

I like the 24 hour life of Hive. There is always someone awake some where in the world posting on hive. This makes it easy for me, I have things to read and see and do in my morning coffee hours, things to see and do in my pre-bed hours, and things to see and do as I pop in throughout the day hours.

I realize I could get the same or almost same from other places, but yt has so many not available in your area issues that make it frustrating to see the world through video. The other ones, I simply have tracking issues with from the mainstream sites, and the other new block chain sites all take time to build in and become accustomed to.
