Anyone else seeing less engagement here than even Steemit?

On Steemit I would expect to get a little engagement in terms of comments etc, but Hive/Peakd seems to be even more bot-central.

Are there actual humans on this platform at all? Where are they hiding?

I don't mean comments like "good post" and "vote for vote", I mean actual humans writing considered responses.

Can this thing even survive if the main activity is farming for rewards?

I have a solution, but nobody here will like it. Make it so you have to actively create original content in terms of posts and comments, otherwise, your rewards get withheld and get put into a central pot.

One issue is there will eventually be "micro blogging" systems. A tweet can be valuable content, but all too often it is not really anything more than another banal outlet.

You could argue that "curation" is content creation, but it is too easy to automate.

What do you think?
