It serves a little purpose better use in app promotion. Discord promoting basically promoting to next person who came to promote next post.

The post promotion function in Ecency gives actual visibility to the posts, so that is technically useful. Practically not really, because the number of actual content consumers (people, who actually care about the content) is still very low on this platform.

Yes that we have to improve

😂😂😂
That's why I hardly post my post link there.
Because I will be like, what's the need?

Me neither. Nowadays I rarely even post unique content on Hive. It is not worth it.

There are no real content consumers.

Hive users care mostly about Splinterlands card giveaways. Better to post about Splinterlands. Or rather only about Splinterlands card giveaways. People comment, because they see their own gain, and not because they would care about the content.

And it is better to post any unique content in the proper Facebook groups. Even in the smallest Facebook groups (for example with a few hundred members).

People there always care.

They ask how I am, how is my bird, they write valuable practical tips, they ask if I have help, they answer my questions, they encourage me to post more often, and in addition to the comments, sometimes they write private messages too to me.

And I know only a very few of them personally.

The same goes with other topics. For example with amateur radio.

Oh, okay.
But I prefer hive to any other social platforms.
I am kinda more open and free to express myself on hive though.

And I have friends, here on hive though.
Hive also gives me to meet people round the world.
My Facebook is just dominant though.
WhatsApp is another place I am free because it is based on people I know well.

Well, when I go through post if I see some preview or a title that call my attention, I go to the post.

Most people on the Hive blockchain do not even care about the content. While on a properly working platform, unique content is naturally standing out.

I feel the same way about the reblog accounts. They reblog indiscriminately, dozens per day, is anyone looking at them for curation? I doubt it.

Many so called curators do not even look at the content at all. Their upvotes are automated. So they upvote content automatically, without even actually seeing the content. This is a part of the "general lack of the content consumers on the Hive blockchain nowadays" problem.
