I get read more my non-hive users than Hive users. From a rewards perspective that's not ideal, but from hopefully bringing people to Hive that is more optimal.

We're social creatures, some of us value engagement a lot, too :) If I'm creating something to tell a story or share a thing that I did, I want to see / hear other people's opinions on it, too - otherwise, what is the point of doing it in the first place?

If traction fails, try a lower RPM and less throttle!
