For example, creating a post and engaging with 50 people in the comment section is likely to be even more valuable than someone writing a 10,000 word article and not engaging with the comments at all. The debate around this is healthy and will likely go on forever. Our goal is to give our users as many possible ways to engage on the platform and gain value from the content they create/read/interact with.

I think this is the right mindset to have. I hope Hive takes inspiration from this. It can't just all be about content creators. It's about engagement too. The dust threshold and non-linear rewards were detrimental changes to the first layer blockchain IMO, at least in regards to engagement.
