The economic models of HIVE and Twitter/Instagram/whatever are too different. Hive is based on a shared finite reward pool (inflation).
On the other hand Twitter/Instagram basically ONLY monetarily rewards people with large followings or whose name have brand value. This is both very mercenary and makes perfect sense in the advertising/sponsorship world.
On HIVE it's possible for an unfamous person to get monetary value from a short tweet or snap. This is acceptable as long as the reward payout is low. Let me ask you this, would this same person get any sort of monetary reward on Twitter/Instagram/Snapchat etc.? Would any advertising firm or sponsorship company pay them? Of course not.
If this same unfamous person then starts getting payouts of hundred of dollars or more for a short tweet or quick pic on HIVE but not having the fame factor to justify it makes no sense. This person is not bringing HIVE any outside attention or free advertising at all and constantly draining the finite reward pool for basically shitposting.
I know this idea is controversial but what is needed is a whitelist for who can earn what for short form content based on the "fame meter". Basically If you're Elon Musk level of famous then you can earn unlimited for a short tweet or pic on HIVE. If nobody has heard of you outside of HIVE then expect your payout to be limited to whatever the community thinks is acceptable.
