People don't stay because they're not recognised. Both by curators that can give a decent vote and by the fact that the social element of Hive is a joke. People need to connect with people the movement they walk through the door.

Beechater implemented into every community as a public live chat could help. Then this needs a private chat where meaningful connections can continue. This alone would make sure people want to return TO HIVE even if their content isn't getting recognition.

In so many industries the reward isn't what people are providing. It's what they're receiving. Only a small amount of users are ever going to be content creators (even smaller amount will be good) the rest just want to consume and connect.

Hive just doesn't do that well. At all!
Only die hards are OK with discord as a side app for communications. Majority would see that as a reason to realise that this platform is missing the crucial things for them to switch over from mainstream.

This initiative is hopeless. Even by his own words @acidyo says clearly that community owners don't see his dream. So then change man. You're asking people to be a free workforce in order to save a broken system.

What type of user experience is that!
