Where is innovation being downvoted? I don't see it.

Instead I fail to see innovation working properly or on par as competitors, 3speak is barely functional and not really tapping into shortform content such as tiktok, yt shorts, etc, UI looks old and the community has barely $200 rewards in pending, even with the community being in the ocd incubation (i.e. curators can nominate posts there for votes).

Stories of instagram exists on liketu but I'm not often pulled towards it, not sure who's fault that is, just saying I don't often see liketu content in front of me when curating or am lead there by active users.

This post isn't about blogging having to be the main usecase of hive nor am I trying to tell others not to innovate. It's about attention, and some innovations like spendhbd are not really something that's going to attract anyone with a sane mind to the posts to check what someone's verifying they purchased today more than a couple times.

If you don't manage to get attention, you shouldn't deserve rewards is my point, not instantly, not every now and then, but if for a long time no one's cared about your posts but you still manage to get a lot of auto or blind votes "magically", that needs to stop cause there's others way more deserving of those.

What other innovation can there exist? We're rewarding sharers up to 1% of the reward pool weekly at this point. We're rewarding buyers with HBD possibly more than that. I'd even be up to fund small time services with the reward pool as well through the Hive Shark Tank community that was recently launched, as long as it benefits all hive shareholders and not just a few token holders, etc.

Kind of a weird comment for this post.
