Great post, but I fear too late. The authenticity of Hive seems to have been lost to vast waves of AI spam. Just take a look at inleo threads and the bot generated AI summaries, all to make it look like traffic is being generated. It's a scam fest and it's sad. For a while, Hive was so much more.

I don't think what is on threads is as visible to a new user coming to hive though (well, except those coming through Leo perhaps). The limited amount of good content is a bigger hindrance than the preponderance of AI content in thread comment containers. It's always been a chicken and the egg problem though. How do you get more good content without more users and how do you get more users without more good content?
I know it's been said before but rather than, for example, sponsoring a driver/car we could give bonus rewards to top actual content, and even sponsor content that we'd like to see created?
It's unoriginal but it's how many content platforms get content creators to move in and create ...
We'd obviously need to be wary of 10000 votes all from the same IP address range/etc 😬
It's so sad because the incentives are MEANT to create more original content, discussion, engagement, and instead people are looking at it as "forget eggs, how quickly can we carve up the chicken?"
