I agree with what you mentioned about the low traffic that Hive and its Fronts currently have. Personally, I think this is due not only to the low user traffic on Hive, but also to the same Fronts such as PeakD, Ecency, InLeo and others that do not have any type of algorithm or function that helps the user to be able to see in their Feed the content that is of interest to them. We literally depend on what the users we follow post and what they sometimes reblog. Some even abuse reblogs and fill their blogs with posts from other accounts just to get followers or attention.

Personally, I admit that I have even muted accounts that abuse this tool because they filled my feed with posts that I am not interested in seeing. Currently, I follow and view posts with content that interests me or catches my attention (as is the case with this particular post that caught my attention because of the title, yes). Aside from that, we have comments and votes to get an idea of how much traffic our posts get. Well, votes also depend a lot on Trails and all that. I believe that only about 1% of our followers actually see our content, and that can be confirmed by the comments and interactions we receive.

I also wonder why they don't just index all the content/posts uploaded daily to Hive by Google to get more traffic. But I also remember that most posts don't meet some minimum requirements for better SEO, since some users barely use tags and others abuse them in one way or another. I'm not an SEO expert by any means, but I at least have a basic understanding of how to write articles, create catchy titles, and use appropriate tags to help the post get increased traffic. But even with all the knowledge and methods I've acquired thanks to my short experience creating written content online, I admit that it's very difficult to get any traffic on Hive.

As you yourself have said, most people come here to make posts and earn money before even reading or interacting. Currently, there are many creators and very few viewers. We need more audience, more viewers, more readers who see and interact with our content.

I apologize for going on at such length, but I wanted to share my opinion on this topic with you.
