They're worthy and welcome to post but should they get rewards that are frankly crazy in economic terms ? No, I don't think they should.
Hive has to attract investors in order to pay for rewards that people want to cash out, and a story of taking money from investors via inflation and giving economically absurd amounts to people for making personal blog posts that don't attract a large following or otherwise pay for themselves isn't and won't be a story that compels.
