I think the privilege comes from the fact that you're diluting the investable pool through a percentage of labour and not having to hand over cash to acquire the token. While buyers and sellers set the market, the value is actually split up through the inflation creation.
I don't know if this is an effective way to divvy up influence and purchasing power but I do watch it closely. I am honestly not too concerned about the token, it's not my interest, if Hive removed the token I think it would be even better.
The tech of distributing text is what I am interested in. I would have loved to see someone try to do it without a native token and using Satoshis instead
