    For the same reason you (and me) get rewarded for posts, comments, and upvotes. We get rewarded tokens for also "typing on the keyboard"! lol...You also get rewarded for videos, gifs, memes, walking, talking, cooking, music, tutorials, games, etc... As a matter of fact, You are getting rewarded tokens right now for answering AMA questions, while "typing on a keyboard!" $31.20 as of the time of this comment:) So why is your post valuable? Because people want access to your time and attention. Regardless of the reasoning. Could be a silly comment/joke/knowledge/info/rewards etc...BUT, not everyone can achieve these level of rewards. So I feel that a system has to be put in place to even out the playing field.

    Not to mention the Time, Effort, Work, and Attention that's Needed to fulfill the Contract. Other Things To Consider Are:

    1. Collateral that commits to the contract. Also, it gives value to the contract by putting your own liquid tokens "on the line". Failure to do so would default the HONEY Contract. Evenly distributing your collateral to others in the contract. (Per 24 Hour Period)
    2. Investment to buy said collateral/Equals a Higher Price.
    3. More consistency between posts. (Most peoples blogs look like this: $5 one day...$1.37 the next...$0.09 cents...$0.52 cents the next) This is not a sustainable model for the longer term. This will not keep the attention aspect. Unless you have a number of "whales" that support you...And nothing wrong with whales. Just being honest here. Most people can't get/stay on the trending page.
    4. HIVE "HONEY' bridges that gap, by utilizing your time, effort, and agreement. Difficulty, and the Collateral amount, can be adjusted per the communities consensus. Higher for more difficulty, or Lower for less difficulty.
    5. This is a UJI, or (Universal Job Income) for the HIVE Blockchain. Where everyone, can make a "consistent", and "specific" amount of tokens, everyday. NOT just purely based on speculation. This system could also be expanded to other Blockchains in the future.
    6. Gives more flexibility to bloggers who don't just want to earn money by blogging/posting/upvoting all the time.
    7. You are still working for HIVE with this contract. It is not given freely to you. You have to earn it based on your time/collateral.

    Thanks again @themarkymark for reading my post/comments around this subject. Also giving me your feedback. I appreciate your time, and attention!
