Why people are so willing to give their content away for free is beyond me.

Web 2.0 platforms aren't exactly raking in too much money per average content creator. Facebook' turnover per monthly active user is about $7 annually. Only a small fraction of the content posted has any monetary value.

But what really puzzles me is that people refuse to move their social media activities over to Hive where they could earn orders of magnitude more on their content than or any money in the first place. Why not have your conversations here where they can easily earn (in case you're active), say, a dollar a day rather than zero like on any other platform? Why not bring over everyone in your group of friends if you have a group of friends who have online conversations among themselves regularly? I have tried but to no avail. Stupid people. The $365 of free money per year like in the example is nice to get.
