I would like to refer in more detail to what you've mentioned in your above comments and solutions I have in mind.

When people arrive at a place, they want to try it out first or just do their thing, yes. Youtube is a good comparison. If I have an account there, I'm not asked to introduce myself or make a welcome video, yes, I don't need to join or pander to any so-called community, it emerges on its own and has no manager (the organic thing).

I can use all the given infrastructure there and do not have to submit to certain rules of operators who have appropriated a certain tag for themselves. I do not submit anything that is centrally screened and evaluated to this operator and his or her co-operators. I also do not receive comments in which I am immediately told about the practices and likes and dislikes. If a channel is successful, it is not because it talks about the platform all the time. There is also no penalty or reprimand if I decide to reuse my own previous content because those who already know it go further and those who don't know it don't care if I publish something I've used elsewhere.

Hive will remain mass-unfriendly if the community operators do not desist from wanting to manage content. It's more than obviuos that content cannot be judged by the few but only by the many.

A problem is the coupling of the "I like" or "I don't like" expression to the stake (and reward pool) alone. Then it's all about the stake/reward pool.

Why not decouple that? For example, by allowing people to click the thumbs up or hearts to rate a post without immediately attaching it to the reward pool (but later in the process). You could set it up so that posts with lots of hearts appear in the trending pages and they are on equal footing with the high payout posts. Or even "beat" them despite a significantly lower payout (just like including the "eyes" under a post).

Why can't a user analyse the dwell time of their readers, that would make them more likely to think about the length of their post themselves and no operator is needed to tell them. Moreover, it could show a discrepancy with the honesty of readers/upvoters who may upvote a post only because they hope to get something out of it in return.

I've often suggested expanding onboarding by allowing guest comments, that is, making it easier for people who don't want to start their own content channel to begin with, but have simply found something they want to comment on. Or not even that. What they simply like to read/watch and perhaps want to forward. But for this they need the possibility to carry out simple operations. Why is there no possibility here to share the content on other social media channels with a click? I wouldn't even enable such guest comments to be voted on, they would then simply be part of the dynamic without their comments offering the possibility to vote for them. You could set up two comment- columns under a blog post that have equal standing.

Those to the reward pool unattached guest comments would be sorted according to the time of their arrival (one could perhaps even programme the possibility to click on "newest comment above/below, for example). All comments could be given a line limit, where you can then click "more" if you want to read on. All the ergonomics that are already common and established.

The biggest drawback is that nothing can be voted on after seven days. However, if one were to give the possibility of giving hearts and a posting gets a lot of hearts or likes, one would create an attraction to generate new payouts on older postings by setting up an automatic mechanism, such as "100 hearts" = 1 HBD", 1000 hearts = 10 HBD and 10000 hearts = 100 HBD (or HP or something else). Just to give a random example. For this, someone would have to run a fund that sets up such automatism. This would show which content is popular with consumers and one can assume that abuse does not happen in a significant way, since hardly 10,000 people put hearts on something that they do not also like.
If no fund is set up, there is nothing left but to open Hive to advertising in order to create opportunities to earn money, in my view.

The search function on the Hive frontend is visually sad and far too little prominent. When I type in "fashion/vintage", for example, all I see is a boring visual posting list without a sound or image that immediately appeals to me. Why not help the viewer and visually enlarge parts of the content or pimp the arrangement of the posts in terms of a more lively design (e. g. using a random generator)? In the long run, content creators would learn on their own to use appealing cover images and visual material in the content more professionally. A platform and its users goes hand in hand to get better in professionalism.

That is how I understand "organic".

I repeat myself as well and talked or answered witness comments. But I am not important or known enough to make a proposal like here in my comment. So I do as I usually do. Engage in these kind of topics but then move on. No one needs to be stressed about it :)
