#1 I agree. I've been in content marketing for years, and writing "your diary" is a no-no in our world. When I joined Hive, I saw the people write whatever they want and thought "great!" But then I often think to myself, why am I reading this???
#2 Yes I see that often on Quora too. Too long with irrelevant info. On other blogs people prolong for SEO purposes but you don't need that on Hive platforms. "Go straight to the point" if your intention is to provide information.
#3 Nobody's interested in your speculation, is that what you mean? Yes, maybe because trashy newspaper columns are full of those just to draw the attention of the fans and we may be influenced by it?
#4 That kind of expression is ONLY valid when explained properly in the following sentence, otherwise yes, I agree that's a zero-quality wasteful expression.
Thanks for your advice.
