This conversation is tedious and you are arguing in bad faith and making contradictory statements.

But we are here in Hive and value of your work is measured as your author reward

If the post is worth what it's paid then the network can't lose money and the entire metric is invalidated.

Only way for chain to gain value is for some people to have less than 1 KE ratio.

Obviously not true and I shouldn't have to explain why.
And also runs contrary to the previous statement.

If we ignore the cost of storing your data

The cost of storing data is always payed and not part of this convo.
On Hive they're called RCs.
This is also not Bitcoin; node operators are paid.
