There are several approaches to curation on Hive. The most natural one is
- satisfaction-based approach
It's when you are happy with a post and generously upvote it for that.
The idea behind that is simple: the better you work, the more you earn. A pure free market approach.
Another popular form is
- effort-based approach
Quite a reasonable approach: the more work you put into a post, the more support it receives. But, as a result, the quality of the work is often overlooked: posts made up of boring text for 5+ minutes and 20+ uninteresting photos can receive huge support.
The idea behind this approach is that the more you work, the more you earn, no matter how well you work. Hive socialism in action. This approach helps distribute rewards more evenly across the Hive community but it also encourages the creation of mediocre content.
- KE-based approach
I understand the economic concerns behind this approach, but it's also clear that KE-based curation drives some great content creators away from Hive.
The idea behind this approach is that the richer you are, the more you earn.
Now that HivePosh attracts thousands of users by sharing links, the value of good content has become quite monetary - visits from other platforms have a market price. Thus, an author producing amazing posts with KE=10 can bring far more value to Hive than someone who never powers down.
HivePosh has introduced a new approach to curation
- curation based on marketing value
This is an extroverted type of curation where thousands of readers from Web2 (Reddit, Bluesky, more platforms are coming) help determine how well your Hive post is rewarded. HivePosh curators, who evaluate the quality of link shares in the second stage, essentially carry out the will of this large reading audience.
A post, written by @steemychicken1 and shared through HivePosh by @dkkfrodo, gained 3,978 views.
If your post seems interesting to readers on Web2, they’ll follow the link to read it on Hive. The more visitors your article brings to the Hive blockchain, the more rewards it earns.
The idea behind this approach is similar to satisfaction-based curation: "the better you work, the more you earn" with the shift from content's reading quality to its power to generate marketing value - traffic from Web2 to Hive and/or awareness of Hive outside Hive.
Why It Benefits Great Authors
A way leading to large upvotes on Hive can take a year or two of consistent blogging: You need time to get on the radar of big curators. HivePosh curation discovers new authors more quickly, as it’s driven by dozens of HivePosh users incentivized to search for great content.

HivePosh isn’t concerned with how much effort you invested in your post; if a 15-minute write-up sparks the curiosity of thousands on Reddit and drives them to Hive, that’s what matters.
HivePosh doesn't look at KE-factor either: we need all Hive human resources to market Hive outside Hive. KE-factor is just a curious metric, while good content is HivePosh's fuel for driving thousands of Web2 users to Hive.
Every view and every visit costs money if generated through Google Ads or other advertising apps. If a low-effort post written by a high-KE account generates 1,000 visits to Hive, it is worth at least 100 USD if done through Google Ads. HivePosh rewards such content for marketing value it generates for the Hive blockchain.

How to Become HivePosh User
A person who shares a Hive link gets 80% of HivePosh rewards, while only 20% goes to the author. The explanation for this ratio is simple: HivePosh incentivizes Hivers to join the initiative, aiming to make sharing links to Hive content a part of the culture on the Hive blockchain.
To get 100% of rewards for your content, you should join HivePosh and share your posts yourself: sign up for Reddit, link your Reddit account to Hive on hiveposh.com, and start sharing Hive links in subreddits - read 8 dos and don'ts to start smoothly.
More social media platforms will be added to HivePosh, but don’t wait for it and join HivePosh without delay - Reddit is a perfect place to attract thousands of visitors.
read 8 dos and don'ts. Hope to see you in our contest as well!Before saying goodbye, I’d like to welcome this week's new HivePosh users: @flummi97, @samostically, @lazzvi, @thehivetuber, @ricky0, @bankrobbery, @falcon97, @badbitch.

Well explained, @x-rain. Great work! Hopefully, it helps people understand what we are doing here. Thank you.
Thank you, @theworldaroundme! 🙂🥂
Next question - maybe i am too stupid but in which UI we see Hive post views? @x-rain
Ecency and peakd
i do not see them - on peakd only when I search my own posts in analytics
If you look at the screenshot of the shares above, the number of views is marked in red. That's where you'll see them.
but where can I see these stats, not on peakd, not hive.blog, not ecency, not inleo :-)?
There is the views count on Ecency and PeakD. If you can't see, change your browser. If still not, change the device. If still not, contact Peakd/Ecency on Discord, lol.
hmmmm ok, strange then, what browser you on?
I think they are still working on it. Would be nice to see.
That's a good explanation! Different ways to see hive posts
Thank you! That's an explanation, but also a statement that HivePosh adds something completely new to the very foundations of Hive - a new form of curation.
Let's bring more millions of views to Hive!

See
Am to sign in with my hive username right? I tried both hive username and Reddit username, the sign in key is not clicking.
What to do?
Yes, you sign in with your Hive username on hiveposh.com. But you need to have Hive Keychain extension for your browser to log in to this website. Choose your browser's logo here https://hive-keychain.com/ to istall the extension.
I would have to do this on a computer right?
inget banned òn hive frequently, maybe cause the actions i carried out is just too much , I'll read through the dos and dont
Yes, all answers in the 8 dos and don'ts. Unfortunately, if you have a freshly created account on Reddit, you don't have a short way to start posting 20 links a day. Start slowly and spend more time learning subreddits that fit your interests.
Great work everybody, lets keep it up!!
X-Rain do you know by any chance if the nomnomnomnom acc runs out of liquid Hive and it does not send the rewards out are they gone or will we receive them when there is enough liquid Hive again?
Just asking cause 8 days ago I had an amazing day of sharing but did not receive anything :( That hive would help a lot to get me closer to my next personal goal of 5k hive stacked :)) And if its gone no worries at all just would like to know so I do not keep waiting.
Screenshot of the nomnomnomnom acc claiming my shares :)
Hey, thank you!!
A dev promised we'll receive them: the bot will resume payouts when it gets liquid HIVE.
ohh awesome, thanks for the answer!!
I think there are some missing or delayed as of liquidity, also have some from 9-10 days ago but sure they will arrive :-) @dkkfrodo
Great post - I actually wanted to ask whether we analyse views of Hive content promoted on Reddit
We take the views count into account.
Thanks for the warm welcome. :)
