You have gotten to the heart of my post, thank you.

• Hive is a stage full of performers. (content-creators)
• It desperately needs eyeballs from an audience. (consumers)

Right now we are a self licking ice cream cone.

This is spot on, and what I aimed to change with the teachings in my post. If we judge by the comments, I'm not sure whether I succeeded or failed, lol.

Anyway, thank you for understanding my point and sharing your input, I appreciate you, and wish you a great day! 🙏
