Hive (soci-fi) success depends mainly on more people joining and using the the blockchain, I don't believe that will work because there aren't that many great content and people are not incentivized to create great content and share that content.

Hopefully, there is a collective push to increase the standards here through metric based curation. I don't know how that will pan out, but creators need to know that putting in the work pays in the long run without having to engage in Hive politics (even this does not guarantee anything).

For instance, I know if I earn a certain amount of view and engagement on Tiktok or X I will entitled to some form of reward, so I can make the conscious effort to grow my audience. Here it is the very opposite. Views, engagement, following doesn't matter. We have many people chasing the wind and empathize with them. The blockchain is losing most of its core community member (that have been here for years) and are not replacing them at the same rate. That is worrisome.
