I think we need a mix. There has to be a big enough audience to bring in big creators, but the masses want good content. I think we should aim for those who can't make much from other platforms, e.g. a band with 1000 real fans. If they all come over then they can get something going. When others see this they may try it. Need those pioneers.
I was on the Tsu platform more or less from the start until they lost funding. They had some fairly big names initially, but they did not stick around. I made a bit and others made more, but there was a lot of abuse such as spamming for likes. Hive is harder to kill, but we cannot be complacent. We have to do what we can to build and support the community. We stand to profit in the long run if it does grow.
