I would be inclined to agree; I love Hive, and find plenty of interesting stuff to read, but an eye opener for me was when I onboarded a friend of mine and he came on had a scroll, found nothing of interest to him and left. When I asked why, he just bluntly said there was nothing that interested him.

That's why there has to be a way to make it easier to find what they might be interested in, to keep then engaged. The search function doesn't really work either, so that's another thing to be sorted out.

Also, new posts are highlighted first, and posts older than 7 days are buried, which is a shame, because there is years worth of fantastic content here that rarely gets looked at after the 7 days are up.

Also, in your post you mentioned earning and how people say it isn't important. But, I would disagree, earnings are important when it comes to exposure. The tabs on Ecency 'Hot' and 'Trending' directly correlate to how much a post has earned, so visibility on Hive is directly linked to earnings, even if on an individual level we believe earnings don't matter, it doesn't excuse the fact that earnings are tied to visibility.
