Over the years, I've seen you make this point many times, and it's a good place to evolve to, where the best content creators earn most of the rewards, and I can't disagree.
Personally, I think that would happen naturally with less interference and more volume.
Also supporting your view point is curation rewards, which does incentivize (in theory) consuming and rewarding content.
I don't think we have opposing positions, youtube also allows casual users and those who are still practicing content creation to post and it evolved over many years, I was on early youtube when much of the interaction was people creating videos for other users and the responses.
I agree with your statement, but also think it takes time to get to that vision.

Yeah. Been repeating this and things similar... for several years.
Content creators often leave due to lack of consumers. Even for me, I find it difficult to find the motivation to post knowing in advance the market is so small, because that's a lot of work and I want it to be seen. Even though when I'd post I'd often receive much much higher than average views and comments, I feel like I'm not able to reach my full potential. That's discouraging.
welcoming committee thing...Consumers constantly come here and attempt to be content creators because they're encouraged to take that route, then struggle, then feel like failures, and leave. That's one less potential consumer for every actual content creator here. Majority of sign ups are from consumers, naturally. This is a vicious cycle that'll just keep going. It's consistently overlooked. Just watch the #introduceyourself tag for several years and see how these consumers are consistently thrown into the wrong pile then asked to be something they're not, by some strange
10000 new users would do a lot for nearly all our problems.
:) Stagnant waters are unattractive and end up being filled with parasites.
I'm not saying we are there, and I get that the path to getting more on that side is tough and controversial.
Always good to see you.

Trends in the media lately are throwing a wrench in the works for sure. Right now Average Joe firmly believes anything crypto, NFT, web3 and so on especially when combined with social media and something like an influencer; all a scam. Why? Parasites. So let's just make that uphill battle a little more vertical...
Who knows what the future holds things can change quickly.
Also, things can drone on and on!
Agree though the path to onboarding is a real challenge.
