because long form posts a lot of time help feed the auto-vote trails powered by the Hive whales and that just continues to help them keep power in the chain.
They are the ones fighting against change.
1st step get everyone to stop using them if they are run by a project that supports the whales.
basically if you are doing long form posts to get upvotes from one of the auto-trails or you delegate to one or subscribe to one you are holding back the entire blockchain.
I have no idea. Educate people about the dangers of auto-trails?
But all in all those are pretty negative and give a toxic first impression of Hive to newbies. For example, some OG whale bastard writes a few words about his penis and earns $80 while a newbie gets peanuts when really putting in effort. Doesn't look good.
Good point. I've been focusing more and more on Inleo these days BUT sometimes I get a little tempted to write a SPL post cos they are so damn rewarding!
As a reference, here are my three latest long-form posts. If you compare the upcoming rewards, you'll see why many still write long-form and especially SPL posts.
Why not do both? Long form posts can earn you pretty nice amount of HIVE, HBD & LEO therefore increasing our voting power -> flywheel.

Yeah, those auto-trails are indeed an issue. Perhaps cut those instead of not writing longer posts?
how can you cut those? I am open ears.

agreed. I am more talking about the existing Hive people. To stop using them. Plenty of people on threads still in them.
As far as newbies. I want them to focus on threads and shorts.
Since it is a shared reward pool if we grow here with new users we can reduce what those reward trails are earning by growing our community
