Newbie...

Newbie here, I have a question to ask, how do I know how much my vote is worth?
I have to say my overall 3xperience is mixed. What if I can't create quality content, ever?What's it for? Why isn't it more like a forum...? You know, having debates, giving advice, asking for help... The way it's set up, it's like every user's thoughts and experiences, even if they don't know what to say, if you know what I mean... I'm trying to say not everybody can write, or wants to...
Just throwing in my tuppence...
Anyway it's a nice website, the people are nice and I haven't seen any trolls... How many people are on hive.blog?
