The phrase about "best practices" from me simply means voluntarily supporting diverse content with our upvote through expanding communities. I wouldn't be here if I favored centralization. Hope that clears things up.
The "full spectrum of methods" is exactly what I'm talking about. Those that want to blog crypto 24/7, feel free. The rest of us can add value by creating more diverse content for everyone else. I want Hive to be a big tent open to all.
okay cool. Yeah, the distributed community has to be supported by distributed content too, as it is a risk management process. For example, while short content is popular today, it could be that in five years, long form is getting traction again - if we no longer have any long form authors, ded. :) Maybe not a good example, but content runs in trends and while fashion colors come and go, classics are timeless.
