I see everyone still commenting focusing on attracting and marketing to the blog post and earn content creator types.

I think folks are missing the real purpose and what should be most important for content creators which is to get eyeballs to the content that is created. Eyeballs who will then engage, vote, share it via Twitter and other venues with friends and family. It is something they are already doing and with Hive can earn a few cents or dollars while doing it. Many have no interest in creating content, just consuming and curating.

Right now we are a self licking ice cream cone.
