In other words i can earn much more hive by trading than participating in Hive community.
Most are likely in the same boat, however I also think that the participation adds a layer of enjoyment to the buying. I don't have fun trading - I have fun trading Hive as it is connected to my hobby. There is a difference imo.
Have you seen the NFT showrooms and (I think) there is one for photography?
i would never ever invest my money into something that is inherently broken.
It is funny though isn't it? People invested into Facebook with essentially the same mechanisms, albeit, they are hidden from the frontend view.
I like the process and engagement here and have never been a fan of the traditional SoMe platforms, though I have used them enough. Now there is an option that suits my style and thought better - I am not planning on ever going back.
