Part 2/7:
The primary concerns voiced regarded the quality and reliability of new accounts being created through existing onboarding methods. Problems were raised about various systems, particularly those involving free account giveaways that tend to attract spam or malicious users seeking to game the system. These issues diminish the overall state of community engagement and user experience on Hive.
Participants agreed that there's a notable gap in user quality, with significant reliability problems associated with payment systems necessary for account creation. A suggestion arose from these challenges: instead of offering free accounts, a minimal charge could be implemented to ensure that users are more invested in their participation right from the start.
