I agree with you about the statistics.

I think the strongest strategy is to find a way to change the culture of the people who are working on HIVE - to where the message to creators and curators is to use the platform to build up their own creative / curator businesses.

And then, I think the message to their fans, ought to be come engage with my work on HIVE and you will get rewards, WHILE you engage with my remarkable work.

I think this whole come post your work on HIVE and get rewarded is a broken outreach strategy, because it doesn't incentivize HP Staking, and it doesn't actually pay enough for people to make any real money.

But I don't see anyone else acknowledging this, and modifying how they use the platform.

it's an interesting marketing problem.
