You make some interesting points. I would like to know how many people have actually been on boarded to HIVE as a result of our current and past marketing strategies, as I agree that most content on the front page is shit.

Not to throw shade on anyone trying their hardest or anything, just saying I never find anything I enjoy outside my favorites, and even then it gets scarce.

In my honest opinion HIVE is still too much hassle for people who are accustomed to the ease of mainstream social media. It requires too much personal accountability and foresight. Our token isn't traded on U.S. exchanges, so the quickest & easiest way to get it that I've found is to buy LTC, and swap it via Hive Engine. That's an incredible leap for a newcomer to a blockchain environment. So, I do see how there could be a benefit to getting them here by giving them $$ to figure out how to get out, especially if they're also incentivized to stake the majority of it. I think this deserves further discussion.

Edit to add I'm thinking of a training program that pays to learn beginning with small things like verifying, staking/unstaking, encrypted memos, up to bigger things like successfully starting/maintaing a community or launching a token, giving them a chance to decide along the way whether or not to take what they've gotten and go or doubling down and reinvesting, until they've had ample time to really see what's here, and bring some friends.
