I think a lot of it could be like the new user I just found, and a few I have seen in the past. If you can not interact with the product then you do not use the product. It is like buying a brand new TV and the only way you can use it is to have a power outlet.
No HP, no ability to react or respond to the people that posted to their introduction post. Prior to my delegating 25HP her RC were likely pretty low, now she can at least respond to a few of the comments.
On boarding with out providing a temporary power outlet, is not going to help. I have seen all the arguments, let them spend 20 dollars if they want to use Hive. It was the same over on steem. If they want to play in our sandbox make them pay. That attitude obviously has not worked. Time for people to wake up to that fact.
I delegated to:
Two of the individuals I delegated to I was unable to verify if they were even aware of the delegation and their ability to now interact, and they never did do any significant interactions on hive.
One individual who it seems just did not find what they were looking for.
Two still current and active. Did the starting HP help them decide to stay? Would they still be here with out it? Starting HP and ability to interact on Hive is a very much over looked part in my opinion.
