six to eight good blog posts a month?

I've been on HIVE since it started (and on steem since also the start and the great migration :D ) - and I think I've struggled to find and read six to seven good blog posts a year from other users.

We need stories and genuine content, and to stop rewarding content about the platform - eg: people go to reddit to connect with their communities, or learn things about new things.

On HIVE we have so many posts about how awesome hive is, but so few posts about genuine human interest, written with intent, interesting subject matter, and stuff with real staying power.

Not every post is a journalistic prize winning piece of prose, and it doesn't have to be, but I've not seen one story broken on HIVE that has then gone to become viral across mainstream media.

Where are HIVE's breakout stories?

Are we not SEO friendly enough? Does the old guard of media get all their stories from FB groups, Reddit, TikTok / Reels / Shorts?

Where's our impact?

Having said all of that , in a rather rambling fashion - people who have the urge to create are going to create, whether they get a reward for that or not - just think about all the content on all those other platforms that people made without getting anything back. :)
