IDK, maybe I'm weird one, but somehow I prefer spontanous, organic travel reports from people who want to genuinly share their experience. That kind of content is hard to be fiund elsewhere, since most of the Internet needs to compete for ads revenue. Wouldn't following that undermine the main premise behind Hive? Having alternative business model sets content creators free from this algo-driven rat race most of people follow.

I believe exactly this (together with financial and souveregnity) aspects will bring wider crowd to Hive at some point.

However I might try to accept thiw idea for a moment and propose creating Hive frontend with built in ON/OFF SEO-optimization suggestions tool during writing. Then users having the best SEO-optimized posts would be rewarded with SEO token. At the end all approaches should be applied in some way or form. Very easy to verify results.
