Another great post from you. I agree with pretty much everything that you wrote. Maybe except for the comparison to YouTube, which I find a little "unfair". I actually think we shouldn't treat Hive as "the platform" but more like the infrastructure. So in order to compare it with YT, we'd have to look at one(or each) of the specific frontends for Hive. And if course there isn't one that's equally easy to use, but the question is whether that's Hive's "fault" or how Hive can contribute for that to change. I think if an app wanted to provide a Web2 familiar onboarding experience, they could do that already (although it wouldn't be easy, and it would cost money / HIVE). So we could be asking: why is nobody doing it? And you've given some of the answers in your post; to me, the most relevant is: what's in for the builders of this app in order for them to take the cost of providing this kind of service to their users? And to me, any good answer to that last question should not be based on (inflation-created) Hive rewards...
