I'd like to divide my comment into a few parts.
1- In a short time I've been able to observe many things here at hive and I confess that I identify with this post on many points. First of all, I have to say that I really admire OCD's work.

2- I miss seeing great content creators here on hive, I'm talking about quality content that we can trust. I hope that, in the future, hive will be able to gather a lot of content and that it will be easier to find it using the search bar on the front-ends (which I find quite limited at the moment).
3- We often create an article giving our opinion on subjects that are already widely discussed on Web2, but just by reading the title the reader doesn't click on it because they think it's repetitive. If it was written by someone "famous", they might click more often, but few are interested in knowing what I think about a subject. Perhaps this is a reflection of traditional social networks, where people are looking for status rather than content.
4- How do I attract more legitimate readers? I don't just want votes, I want people to identify with what I'm trying to write, but that's only possible if they actually read the content. With that in mind, I'm trying to reduce the number of words in my posts (but I'm trying to do it in a way that doesn't lose the essence I want to convey), and I also don't want to scare the reader away with a text that's too long.
5- I understand that more important than bringing in new people is getting them to stay and actively participate.
Finally, given all this, I ask myself: Is the Hive really attractive to the "common public"? Perhaps there will always be this divide.
Here we can create a community of collaboration and real dedication. While out there they develop a community of futility and fake.
