with this kind of mentality, HIVE will never be a network for the masses... only a niche place for long form content creators / bloggers.

I personally think it’s time to welcome the short form content. The micro-blogs. The one picture Instagram-style posts. The memes. The shit posts. That’s the way HIVE needs to go if we want to bring in the masses. Not everyone is a full blown blogger.

But hey... go ahead and give downvotes to new people that come here from their traditional social networks hoping for a cool experience, you can do what you want, but it’s definitely not helping to grow the HIVE.
