There is a huge learning curve to onboard the masses. It is hard to understand given that users have to "pay" with RC's to interact. Think of how they are used to working. They sign up for a new service or create a separate account, you are then free to post as much meaningless comments and content as you wish. Since you are the product, you are generating revenue to pay for those servers.
Now - people can sign up - and get enough RC's to comment/post a few times a day, until they prove they too are providing value and get more RC's to increase usage. I think the problem is getting people to HIVE long enough to start to see the returns.
HIVE also has big echo chambers, where if you don't post the right content that floats the whales boats, you don't get the upvotes. It may be hard to branch our and get some to want to join and fight and scratch a following and community if blogging about more traditionally financial topics.
As mentioned before, some users are creating really valuable sticky content, but can only get paid once. That breaks every other online content model out there, and might be hard for a creator to want to put in the effort. I like HIVE, I am HIVE exclusive with my content, but I think I may be in the minority by not cross posting.
For now I like the idea of POB, and its been a great community to me, but for reasons I can't understand, getting people on HIVE is super hard. Until FB/YT starts to mass ban accounts, we will struggle to get growth.

thanks for such an in-depth response. Im not sure that facebook/youtube banning will benefit us. But I did get banned from Facebook today. I added a new user to my ads account to co-manage ads and my account was disabled. No forms or instructions to get it back. One of the most frustrating days ever!!!
But Hive doesn't offer that type of benefit for busines.
I do I hope I catch on with POB, I dont much attention but if that changes I'll probably stake. I'm trying to figure out if it is just a gathering place for Hivians. In the end who will be buying the tokens in the future?
