I have heard often people talk about how many great content creators have left, without them seeing the problem. Yeah, we need great content creators, but more than that - we need far, far more eyes on what is created. Without eyes on work, there is no value. What Hive needs, is a great audience, people who come in, consume content and share it out to the world - the topic matters less than the reach - which is why initiatives that push out to Twitter, Reddit and similar are great.
That's a great point. @runicar made a post about SEO-ying our posts to improve the domain authorities of the front ends as well as improving the page rank of our posts.
We also need to start rewarding people for looking for new people to onboard, onboarding them successfully and helping them get a good start. Account creation is a natural sink. And someone new powering up most of their initial earnings is a sign of them looking to grow. Rewards based on Proof-of-Onboarding, if you will.
Yep, the problem with the onboarding is that it generally encourages earning from the pool, not consumption of the content. The pool keeps getting split, but there are less consumers per creator
