Neither Splinterlands nor the increasing price have yet to draw many users into the core social media aspect of Hive, posting and commenting is not increasing substantially.

The silver lining to that is that existing Hive social media users can benefit from the increased value of the reward pool without having to share it with a wave of new users 😅

I expected the increasing rewards will drive new social media users in eventually though, especially when what is happening starts getting acknowledged with hype on other social media such as Twitter.
