Hive is a good and strong platform , but a lot still need to be done to ensure that hive stands out and it's well known.
Personally , I would love to see a lot of things improve on hive.
I made mention of creating awareness. Hive has come a long way in empowering creators , supporting and building decentralized communities but I think very few people are aware of the token and how they can get it. Different communities on the platform can organize a weekly contest for all the members to be publicizing hive on other platforms and they reward those who take part on the contest.
Coming up with better onboarding strategies for new users will also help, because there are a lot of new user who to some extent are still confuse on how to go about hive, especially if those who onboard them did not give them a better insight about the platform. The person who introduced me to the platform did excellently well , but I can still tell you that even till date I am still trying to understand some things about hive. Coming up with a community that every new members can join and read about or watch videos on how hive works , how to swap , save or trade your token will help.
One of those things that use to motivate people was high curation on their post. We can attest to the fact that the rate of curation has dropped of recent and excellent / insightful posts sometimes get buried under the large volume of daily content. Improving content discovery tools and the rate of curation could help.
Bringing back the HBD reward is another way that can help improve hive , HBD rewards are among the changes that many users believe could boost participation in the ecosystem and make the ecosystem even stronger. HBD is a more stable coin and some users are not built to manage or are less exposed to the price fluctuation as experience in the hive token.
Regardless of all these , hive still remains one of the decentralized platform that is friendly and free for all.
