That is the thing, Hive could easily be a mini Reddit, but the entire emphasis always turns to "how much coin will I generate? what will my high score of influence be?" rather than "Hey I learned something cool" or "that was an interesting story" etc.
Heck, I have thought for a long time that we could have member-only walled sections for premium membership too, for example a patreon style membership where you get 3d models every month, or educational ebooks/videos, etc but it is difficult enough to get people to contribute or engage for free
I'm honestly not sure how many content consumers there actually are on Hive. Lots of content creators for sure... but I'm not sure how many people are using Hive to get information, knowledge or entertainment.
Reddit is amazing exactly because people share absolutely incredible insights... and they do so because the eyeballs are there. There's literally no barrier to find something amazing (and comment on it) on Reddit.
